WFW-Rest
But 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. Isaiah 40:31
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love this passage… If we will seek Him and wait for His perfect timing, everything will work out perfectly. It is when we try to push our own timing and agenda on our lives and the lives of others that problems come.
As the old song adds, “Teach me Lord, teach me Lord, to wait.”

This is the cross that we placed where my dad crashed his plane. My husband built the cross, and we had it engraved with this verse and a picture of his plane. I haven’t been able to make it back up there since we put the cross in the ground, so I don’t know if it is still there or not… it’s inaccessible in the Winter, and I haven’t made it back home in the Summer for some time.

The funny thing is that I was planning to post a completely different verse today – also about the peace of God in our lives when I stumbled across this picture. Last night’s home group discussion also seemed to center a lot around the concept of faith and the peace that only God can give… hmmm, perhaps He is trying to tell me something!

I need to remember this, too. Waiting is not something I was blessed with.
Happy WFW (a day late)!
I must have missed this post the other week Jennifer! Thanks for participating!
Amydeanne,
I was a day late last week… my Wednesdays tend to get a little full getting everything ready for our worship practice that night, and getting caught up from the meetings on Tuesday!
I am really enjoying these though – a very good reminder in the midst of these troubled times!
