The word "wait" can mean many things. When Isaiah the prophet wrote, "But 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," he was conveying the importance of taking time daily to wait upon Me. Those times of waiting are not just times when you still your soul. Those waiting times are also times when you can minister to Me through your worship and your praise.
Worship and praise are two spiritual sacrifices that bless Me and as I receive the sweet incense of your worship and praise, I send you refreshing and strength in return. When your focus is entirely upon Me and not yourself or your circumstances, I am able to take your cares, bundle them up, and lay them before My Father.
Your burden will always be lightened when you spend time in My presence. The things of this world will pull you down, but when you set your mind upon Me, those things will grow strangely dim in the light of My glory and grace. In My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more.
ISAIAH 40:31; PSALM 16:11
