[The Glory Unveiled]
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. ( Isaiah 40:31 )
Our verse of Scripture is one of the Scriptures that should be read slowly and thoughtfully. But unfortunately, it is possible not to pay attention to the word “wait”. Before one renew their strength, mount up with wings, walk, run and not faint nor grow weary, there is the prerequisite of WAITING upon God. Waiting upon God is the incubation moment of entering into the atmosphere of God and having enough stamina to endure that glorious presence. Waiting upon God does not mean idleness and faithless wishes. It is an act and an art of faith and absolute trust and dependence on God. Walking in the Spirit is a privilege of born-again Spirit filled Believers. We walk in the Spirit by making the presence of God our habitation and the first thing to do is to wait upon the lord. And then leaning on the provisions of faith, we can expect to hear God and look for His desires in the secret place. The spiritual man who waits on God then is that man that is qualified for the benefits of the verse of Scripture above. We will now understand why many people declare this Scripture everyday but they do not experience the resulting effect. The reason is because the prerequisite of waiting is not fully met. Wait upon the Lord. Again, wait.
Prayer_Bead: Gracious Lord, Father of all Spirits, thank you for your word and the opportunity and grace to wait upon you in the secret place. Help me to make your presence my habitation.
