Don't Run With The Turkeys

“Those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.  They will mount up with wings like eagles.  They will run and not grow tired.  They will walk and not become weary.”  Isaiah 40:31

They say if you want to soar with the eagles don’t run with the turkeys. 

Unfortunately, in our society time has overtaken everything else.  We are so busy running that we can’t wait five minutes without complaining.  We never want to wait:  not in the checkout line, not for the car at the garage, not at the drive up window, not for the kids, or the wife or the husband.  We are so busy running that we don’t have time to do anything else.  

That is not the way it is with God.  God is patient and long suffering.  God does not lead us astray, He welcomes us.  He wants us to soar like eagles. 

We need not rush headlong through life, we need to heed the words of God, and wait upon the Lord.
