Desires Pt. 2 Just Wait

Isaiah 40:3

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.

WAIT: The one word no one wants to hear, while simultaneously serving as one of the most powerful jewels of wisdom known to man. Wait. How often would you or I have been positioned for greater progression or a higher place if only we would have exhibited a little more patience.

Having desires doesn’t make you a bad person. But being in control of the perspective of those desires’ place in our decision-making process certainly can make for a better life. What could you do it Mr. or Ms. Right showed up the day after you gave your all to Mr. or Ms. Make Do? Remember: Decisions based on temporary circumstances will threaten can threaten your future progression and lead to regret.

Temporal circumstances should not dictate permanent decisions. We often give up a platinum future for a plastic present. As emotional beings we often allow how we currently feel—lonely, horny, unlovable, inadequate, tired of aloneness, peer pressured—distort our vision of how our resulting actions will effect us now and tomorrow.

Desires are complicated by time. But we must remember, that God’s scope of time is not our own. We see what is temporal, but our Mighty Father sees what is eternal.

Wait for what He says is yours. Grab on and enjoy the flight! He guarantees you will.

Prayer: Father, sometimes I don’t want to wait. I want what’s mine and I want it now. But Lord, you know what is best for me. And you promised that if I wait on you, you would renew my strength. God, renew my strength. Help me be patient through this process and God, I will give you all the glory for my walk, my run and my flight! I love you. In Jesus name, Amen.
