Building Bridges from the porch...

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 40:31KJV

Waiting is difficult. Instant coffee? Waiting for fresh roasted, fresh

ground and fresh brewed, hand-picked bean, coffee? I suspect that

you coffee lovers would appreciate a cup of the latter. Instant coffee

might be a big cup of nope!

Waiting is difficult. Microwaves? Fast food? Driving in the fast lane? I

spoke to a friend recently about her trip to St. Andrews, Canada. She

extolled the virtues of small towns. I asked her how long it would take

to drive there. She said that if I took 95 it would take 4or 4 ½ hours

but that she preferred the 5 ½ hour route because she could

experience more of the small towns of Maine. Sometimes slowing

down has benefits as more and more people are discovering.

God’s call upon us to wait and then be renewed is the promise, based

on this “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the

everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow

tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives

strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

” Isaiah 40: 28-29 NIV

In other words, He is God. He’s worth waiting for!
