Teach Me to Wait
One of my favorite Scriptures is Isaiah 40:31: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" (KJV). Years ago those words were put to music, and I sang them and taught them to my children.The song added the phrase, "Teach me, Lord / Teach me, Lord, to wait." I loved that passage, and I loved that song. I sang it all the time.
But I didn't think too much about what I was asking. Did I really want Him to teach me to wait?
