Waiting is Difficult !


“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might, He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:28-31

Scott Peck said, life was difficult, but I think waiting is more difficult. Perhaps it is just what makes LIFE difficult. As Christians, many of us are the “can do” people, we want to take action, fix things, help, support, lend, give, do, sing, whatever it takes to get through something and especially get through it faster...most times it is the waiting and trusting we need to be doing, not the doing.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene

PS: Prayer Requests: Reg’s long drive to be safe and his ministry. Doctors and specialists caring for Lyle’s brother (he’s better, but is still unable to stand. Has two more weeks in a wheelchair – what a miracle to know this!!), David, Adrian and Randy. Gregg to sell his home in the UK. The Kossallys and me during some big changes. Pray for God’s will for a project for me in Pakistan in November.
