“Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God doesn’t come and go. God lasts. He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”
Isaiah 40:27-31 MSG
Regardless of what you see or hear, God is totally aware. He’s not blind to our needs. His Word still stands.
Sometimes it’s easy to think God has forgotten all His promises, but His timing is perfect. He sees things differently than we do. We tend to pray only when we’re unable to solve a problem quickly and only go to Him for emergencies.
But our hope lies in the fact that when we wait on the Lord, which implies spending time in His presence, lavishing love on Him, then our strength will return. We will finish our race without weariness. No fainting along the way.
Discover where God is by understanding He is in you. He gave you His Holy Spirit so you’d never face anything alone. Everything you need is found in His Presence.
Instead of only asking for stuff, tell Him how thankful you are for all you have. Cuddle up on His lap and love on Him. He created us to fellowship with Him. Perhaps remembering that will change your outlook on what’s happening around you.
Do it the first thing every morning and the last thing every night. Expect sound sleep and new strength each day.
I found Him!
