Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40:28-31 NASB95 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. [29] He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. [30] Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, [31] Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. I have a confessions to make: I am by nature a "fixer." Which means that I use my intellect, my power of persuasion, and my physical assets to fix problems. I manipulate situations. I mitigate conversations. I put my hand to the task. Even so, I have found problems that exceed my ability to solve. I cannot solve all of my own problems much less the problems of others. I often deal with people's problems and personal issues that are far beyond my ability to fix. Sometimes, when I hear about the situation that a person is going through, not only do I lack a solution, I am often at loss for words that might be encouraging. "OK," I'll admit it... "I'm not very good at fixing people!" That said, I know someone who is an expert at fixing people. Someone who loves people more than they love themselves. Someone who knows people more than they know themselves. His name is Jesus. What is the lesson in this? Simply this, I need to learn how to wait upon the Lord. Jesus is the solution for what ails me. Jesus is the answer to what people need. Jesus is the author and the finisher of my faith. I want this to be my new approach to life. I am waiting on the Lord... Questions to Consider:
