"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
I think I let patience take the place of action. I have been stagnant spiritually. I don’t like it. I seem to have remembrances of messages talking about those dry spots in our walk, and that they are to be endured. Patience is definitely necessary, but what if God is waiting on us? We ask God, what should I do? and we wait, and wait, and wait, and do a bunch of other stuff while waiting and get distracted. (When I say “we” I am talking about myself. Don’t worry about it) I think the walk with Jesus is much like a sport, in particular a running sport. If we keep doing the same old thing, we adapt and plateau. The bar needs to be raised higher and higher. We need to let God challenge us, but we also need to challenge ourselves in pursuing God and in doing his work. Challenges are necessary to grow. People always say they grow the most when they go through a valley/drought/ challenging time. Let’s stop waiting for God to really change things up and throw some hammers ourselves into the gears. Waiting does not normally mean standing still.
