Waiting and Watching Patiently

I have this picture on my wall

that my sister gave me some

years ago.

I have looked at it so many times and loved it

for it's beauty. 

This morning, I looked at it differently!

I saw a woman waiting.  Looking out the

window, waiting there looking at something

or waiting on someone.  She was patiently

waiting. I wondered if she was watching

her children play, or maybe her husband

working in the yard, or maybe just admiring

God's beauty, in her garden. Maybe there was

something heavy on her heart that she was seeking

an answer for.

Have you ever prayed about something

and wondered, 'why hasn't my prayer been

answered'? 

Maybe our Father is trying to teach us to

be patient and wait on his timing.

Psalm 37:7 tells us to "Be still before the

Lord and wait patiently for him". 

Have you ever felt so tired 

or  "burned out" as some may say,

that you think you can't keep going?

 I'm sure we all have at times. 

We can grow tired of waiting.

Our mind and our bodies can

get tired from manual labor and 

mental strain.

Isaiah 40: 28 says

 "the Lord does not become weary or tired".

Verse 29, tells us that "He gives strength

to the weary"

As we wait on the Lord and trust in Him

for our needs, let's wait patiently on Him.

 As women and believers, we sometimes

feel like we are called on to do so much,

for our family and others, that we can 

become weary and tired from our load of 

responsibilities. Let's  trust our heavenly Father

 for strength and courage to handle our daily chores.

As the lady in the photo waits patiently and

watches over her home and families needs,

let us do the same, as unto the Lord God.

He will give us strength and rest for our

walk with Him.

Isaiah 40: 31

" those that 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."

  Dear Lord, when we become tired, remind us

of your inexhaustible stength. Help us to to be

patient and wait on you and your timing,in all

things. Amen

Have a Blessed Sunday!
