Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait,
I say, on the LORD.

(Psalm 27:14 KJV)

 

 

 

Whenever I need to sharpen my irons in “waiting on the Lord”  I revert back to this picture taken sometime last spring.   My husband who snapped this adorable “mom” makes me smile as well as think.  Here is a mother waiting for her chicks to hatch, keeping watch, as she patiently anticipates their appearance. Even creatures must be patient and “wait upon the Lord.

Here in the Northeast, Spring is right around the corner.  The change of the season is a time of reflection for “new things,” It’s the time of rebirth, and a time of growth in all things big and small.  Animals and their “babies” come forth, a Robin makes her first appearance as she scampers for her worm, and the ground starts warming up making way for green grass and beautiful flowers.

To wait upon the Lord is a privilege and an honor.  To be able to “bask in His renewal” of Spirit as He washes His grace over us is beyond words.  The patience of following His word while being obedient to His doctrine is a valuable tool that will encompass our countenance if “we surrender” to His will. The road of Life is one in which we can survive any kind of “set-back” or “adversive” scenario when we’re clothed in our garments of faith.

The reasurrance of the “first buds” of Spring and the red Robin gathering her worms is proof of God and His magnificence.  The renewal of fauna, animals and their young,  is all evidence of God and His existence.

As we breathe the air, so do we breathe “His Spirit.”  We LIVE because of Him, and we ARE because of Him.  So Breathe…and enjoy His sweet essence of Love and promises…

 

 
Galatians
2:20 – I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Isaiah
40:31 – But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their]
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
Psalms
37:34 – Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee
to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
