"Why
do you say . . . my way is hidden from the Lord, and the justice due me
escapes the notice of my God? Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does
not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives
strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired, and
vigorous young men stumble badly; yet those who wait for the Lord will
gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles. They will
run and not get tired, the will walk and not become weary."
Renewal, strength, endurance, a faith that soars, spiritual progress
unaffected by the "speed" of life. Why is waiting for the Lord a
negative thing? Demanding that God act now--spiritual hurriedness--is
debilitating. Wait--hope in--the eternal, sovereign, omnipotent,
inscrutable God. "Do you not know?" "Have you not heard?" Those are
rhetorical questions for the child of God, are they not? So, why do you
say . . ?
