“But they who wait for 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” (Isaiah 40:31). Waiting on the Lord does not mean doing nothing. Waiting for the Lord means, “I am totally convinced that God is at work in this awful situation even though I cannot see it at the moment. Therefore I will not let this thing overwhelm me because being overwhelmed will not solve the problem anyway. By God’s grace I will do the next thing that needs to be done, trusting that God is at work behind the scenes.” So that little step forward–whatever it is–is a step of faith. Waiting is not passive, but active, because you believe God is at work in the midst of the crisis.
