*Patience*

Patience. That is what the Lord is teaching me lately. And it might be the hardest lesson to learn!!! It seems like most every lesson the Lord teaches me is hard, because they always go against the very chore of my sin nature. That sinful self that is so deep set. But I know that He does not ask me to do something that He does not give me the power to do! Praise the Lord, for He is good, and He has my life in His wonderful control :)

"Wait" by Steven Curtis Chapman

You wonder when the Lord will renew the strength within you;
You wonder how, how can He use you as you are.
Seems like you’re wasting precious time,
But then a voice comes to remind you to wait.

CHORUS
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord;
You will understand in time.
Why you must wait,
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord;
Yes He hears you,
But for now you must wait on the Lord.

Answers come slowly to your cries of desperation,
But time is His tool, teaching the greatest lessons learned;
So let Him do His work in you,
And watch the miracles come true as you wait.

(chorus)

And He wants you to know that
They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They will rise up with wings as eagles,
They will run, not get weary.
They will walk and not faint;
That’s a promise to us when we wait.
