Waiting!

Waiting is never easy. But I look at a child or a youth and see how much more difficult that is and my devotion reminded me of this very much.
Isaiah 40:30-31
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
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

This hit me this morning as to why so many youth fall. Patience comes through maturity and some times when we are needing something from God, He requires us to seriously wait on Him and seek HIS way. As a adults we find that very hard, how much more difficult for our children and our youth.

The enemy is using tools of depression (bipolar is the explanation everywhere these days), discouragement, lonliness to draw our people away. Isaiah PROMISES us that IF we wait on the LORD, our strenth SHALL be renewed. Not only renewed but ride above the storms like the eagles do. We will RUN and not grow weary. Usually when one starts out in a race the longer they're in they start to tire. Oh but not the Christian, the longer we're in it we grow STRONGER.

May God help us to WAIT on Him for direction, for the answer.

Please pray for my family.
