“They that wait upon The LORD shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as the eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31.

Teach me LORD, to wait…

What is it to wait upon The LORD?

It is to be still and know Him, to know Him is to love Him intimately with all of your mind, soul, and spirit.

To be still is to wait patiently upon Him knowing that He is faithful to perform all that He has promised.

To be still also means to look to Him believing that He will show you the way to go.

He will lead those in the wilderness, those who feel they have no Shepherd, but that is just a feeling.

The truth is that He removes His tangible presence for a season so that you will press in deeper into Him.

To go deeper is to love Him even more when it seems He isn’t moving in your behalf you still trust Him.

To wait upon The LORD is to rest in Him trusting Him that His timing is perfect even if it may be many years without seeing an answer you still trust Him.

Ask and see the faithfulness of The LORD.

He says those who ask, seek, and knock will receive if they do not give in to the lies of the evil one that He won’t come through.

This is the day of the great falling away because many will not wait patiently for The LORD’s return. They go off to do their own thing believing the lies of the evil one and justifying their actions.

This is the day when many will fall away just because they will not wait, be still, and know He is God.

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website, shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at The Father’s feet. I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow. Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before The Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
