Upper Room

Recently, there’s been a trend on social media to get a “word” for this year. But I have not heard anyone pick words like…

“Hurry”
“Faster”
“Quicker”
“Rush”

Yet, we don’t enjoy the opposite of those words…

“Wait”
“Patience”
“Pause”
“Delay”

Could waiting be a blessing?

Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)
They who wait for 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.

“They who WAIT for the Lord…”

The word “wait” means…

To look for
To hope

To expect

What are you looking for in 2020?

What are you hoping for in 2020?

What are you expecting the Lord to do in 2020?

Acts 1:4 (NIV)
On one occasion, while He was eating with them, He gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but WAIT for the gift My Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.

Habakkuk 2:3 (TLB)
But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, don’t despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue by a single day!

Acts 2:1 (NIV)
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

Acts 2:2-4 (NIV)
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

What are you waiting on God for?
