Today i'm feeling a little weary and restless.. There's this strange stirring in my heart that things are not okay and I'm just desperate to make things work.

Was just reading this today and it became my revelation, because yesterday I was praying and I just felt God tell me to wait on Him. And i became a bit anxious la cos like I needed answers then and there. Today i flipped open a book and the section was titled: Wait on the Lord!

Haha i was like OMG.. quickly went to read it. So here's just something I would like to share with u all! Hope u'll be blessed. :) From Joyce Meyer's Never Give UP! HERE GOES:

God compares His people to eagles (Isaiah 40:31). I believe God chose to liken us to eagles to motivate us to rise to our potential in life and to encourage us to wait on Him and find our strength in Him. When success does not come easily, when we find ourselves frustrated and weary in our efforts, we need to wait for the Lord. (OMG SO TRUE.)

What does it really mean to wait on the Lord? It simply means spending time with Him, being in His presence, meditating on His Word, worshipping Him, keeping Him at the centre of your life. One meaning of the word "wait" is to "be twisted or braided together". If we think about braiding someone's hair, we realise that the hair is actually woven together so that we can't really tell when one strand ends or begins. 

That is the way God wants us to be in our union with Him - so intimately intertwined and tightly woven together with Him that we are truly one with Him. As we wait on Him, we become more and more like Him. WAITING IS NOT PASSIVE; IT'S VERY ACTIVE SPIRITUALLY.

While we wait, we need to aggressively expect God to do great things in our lives.

Isaiah promises that when we wait on the Lord and spend time with Him, becoming more like He is, we will renew our strength. That little prefix "re"means to "go back again, to be made new, to go back to the beginning of something". We can approach a situation in which we have grown weary with fresh energy and passion.

One reason eagles symbolise strength is that they know how to make their strength work for them. They dont expend their energy needlessly. Just as these magnificent birds know how to allow the thermal currents of the physical world to carry them, "eagle Christians" understand the currents of the Holy Spirit. They perceive the moving of the Spirit and can flow through life easily, without strain, striving, and undue stress. This comes from waiting on God and enables them to go through life with strength, power and vitality.

Finally! hahaha leave comments pls. this is one of the rare blog entries ok. thanks.
