Trusting Waiting And Depending On The Lord

Isaiah 40:31

(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.

TRUSTING WAITING AND DEPENDING ON THE LORD

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

IF THERES EVER BEEN A TIME WHEN WE NEED TO TRUST WAIT AND DEPEND ON THE LORD

NOW IS THE TIME

FOR EVEN JOB DECLARED

Job 14:1 (KJV) Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble

BUT AIN`T IT AMAZING THAT GOD KNOWS HOW TO NAVIGATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF OUR LIVES

WHERE CAN NEITHER GO BACKWARD OR FORWARD

AND WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TRUST WAIT AND DEPEND ON THE LORD

************************************************

THE TEXT BEFORE US IS CENTERED AROUND TRIBE OF JUDAH WHO ARE IN BABLONIOAN CAPITITY

FACING A LONG DIFFICULT JOURNEY

AND INSTEAD OF PRAISING GOD THEY WE`RE COMPLAINING TO GOD

THAT HE DID NOT KNOW OR WAS`NT CONCERN WITH THERE PRESENT SITUATION

AND THERE COMPLANT WAS THAT THEY DID`NT HAVE STRENGHT FOR THE JOURNEY

BUT IT`S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT GOD KNOWS WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH

AND WE COULD NEVER ENDURE THE JOURNEY IN OUR OWN STRENGHT

BUT WE CAN ALWAYS TRUST AND DEPEND ON GOD TO PROVIDE THE STRENGHT WE NEED FOR

THE JOURNEY

BECAUSE IF WE TRUST OURSELVES WE WILL FAINT AND FALL

BUT IF WE WAIT ON THE LORD WE WILL RECEIVE STRENGHT FOR THE JOURNEY

ISAIAH REMINDS THE PEOPLE

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) 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.

NOW THE KEY WORD IN THIS VERSE IS WAIT

AND THE WORD WAIT DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT WE SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING

BUT IT MEANS TO HOPE

TO LOOK TO GOD FOR ALL THAT WE NEED

NOW THE REASON WHY SOME OF US IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS WORD -WAIT IS

BECAUSE WE ARE INTERPRETING THIS WORD OUT OF IT`S PROPER CONTEXTS

AND WE WILL DO THAT IF WE INTERPERT THIS WORD FROM IT`S PASSIVE TENSE

WHICH SUGGEST THE VUNERABLITY WE PLACE OURSELVES IN WHILE WAITING

BUT WHEN WE VIEW IT FROM THE ACTIVE TENSE

WHICH TELLS US WHILE WE ARE WAITING GOD IS GOING TO BE WORKING IN OUR BEHALF

AND AS LONG AS GOD IS WORKING --

WE HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT GOD IS GOING TO WORK THINGS OUT FOR OUR GOOD

---

NOW LET`S LOOK AT HOW GOD IS WORKING WHILE WE ARE TRUSTING and WAITING

(REJUVNATE)

ISAIAH TELLS US But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

GOD WILL GIVE US REJUVNATION

IN OTHER WORDS

GOD WILL SUPPLY OUR NEEDS

AND GIVES US BACK EVERYTHING WE LOSE IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING

CAN I CALL A BIBICAL WITINESS

COME HE RE JOB

AND IF ANY ONE HAS EVER STUDIED THE BOOK OF JOB

YOU CAN TESTIFY THAT JOB WAS A MAN THAT WAITED ON GOD

CAN I TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT

IN JOB THE 2ND CHAPTER

BRO AND SIS JOB HAS A TALK

AND IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME PHARA-PHRASE THEIR CONVERSATION

SIS JOB TELLS BRO JOB

I`M SICK OF YOUR SITUATION

I`M SICK OF HOW YOU SMELL

AND I`M SICK OF YOU SCRAPING THOSE SORES OFF YOUR BODY ALL OVER THE PLACE

BUT MOST OF ALL I`M SICK OF HOW YOU ARE TRUSTING IN A GOD THAT HAS ABANDON YOU

BUT IF YOU ARE A REAL MAN WHY DON`T YOU GET UP LOOK TOWARD HEAVEN AND CURSE GOD

AND DIE

THE BIBLE SAYS JOB DID GET UP

BUT HE DID NOT CURSE GOD

VERSE 10 IN THE TEXT REVEALS THAT BRO JOB TELLS SIS JOB

THAT SHE`S TALKING LIKE A FOOLISH WOMAN

SHALL WE ACCEPT THE GOOD THINGS FROM GOD AND NOT THE BAD

AND CAN I REMIND YOU

FOR IT`S THE LORD THAT GIVES AND THE LORD TAKETH AWAY BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD

AND DON`T YOU KNOW THAT

A Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

BUT I`LL TELL YOU WHAT I`M GOING TO DO

ALL THE DAYS OF MY APPOINTED TIME I`M GONNA WAIT UNTIL MY CHANGE COME

AND BECAUSE JOB WAITED ON THE LORD

GOD GAVE HIM DOUBLE FOR HIS TROUBLE

GAVE HIM BACK EVERYTHING HE LOST IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING

***********************************************

2-POINT

BUT NOT ONLY WILL GOD GIVE US REJUVNATION

BUT THE TEXT REVEALS THAT WHEN WE TRUST WAIT AND DEPEND ON GOD

HE WILL ALSO GIVE US ELEVATION

WE SHALL MOUNT UP ON THE WINGS OF EAGLES

CAN I SHARE SOME EAGLE THEOGLY HERE

AN EAGLE IS A FIND SPECIMAN OF A BIRD
