Waiting on God is a massive theme in God's Word. A personal Sabbath is a time of planned, focused waiting upon God. But often that time gets stolen from our plans!
The Holy Spirit chose eight different Hebrew words to paint the picture of the God who seeks us to come silently before Him and to listen to Him through His Word. A personal Sabbath feeds our patience, strengthens our obedience, focuses our spirit and renews our strength as Isaiah said 'like an eagle' we soar to the heighths of God's presence.
The truth is that waiting on God has been the foundation for spiritual growth for the past five thousand years. Yet over the last thirty years, our generation has been robbed of this important truth. And it is now to the point that many don't even see what has been lost. Are you wiped out, tired, fatigued, exhausted, and locked in to hurrying to and fro with no rest in sight? Then “waiting upon the Lord” may be the answer to our loss of a personal resting in the Lord.
'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.' Isaiah 40:31
