We are planning to go back Easter Sunday to the same restaurant we visited on Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful waitress that day. Although busy, she was attentive, always checked in with us to see if we needed anything. She let us know what was going on with our food and made our wait very pleasant, so much so I sent an email to the restaurant with her name detailing what she did. The manager not only acknowledged my email, he sent a $20 gift card to us.
Whenever I hear the Scripture from Isaiah 40:31, I think about what it means to wait on God. “Those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” [NKJV]
Whenever I think about waiting on God, I don’t think about waiting as in a time period, I think about waiting on God as that waitress waited on us. She was attentive to us, she consistently checked in with us no matter how busy she was with other things. She listened to us.
Isaiah also wrote: “Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.” [64:4 NIV]
God acts on behalf of those who wait [on] Him. What are you waiting on?
