Isa
64:4 (ESV)
From of
old no one has heard
or
perceived by the ear,
no eye has seen a God besides you,
who
acts for those who wait for him.
NOTE: I think the
key idea here is the importance of waiting up God. Why is waiting so important?
Waiting implies trust and God desires our trust. Waiting is also resting,
although at times it is hard to rest while waiting for something to come. But
true waiting is resting, knowing that what we wait for will be delivered. And
in this case, waiting is accepting what comes as the best possible short- and
long-term solution to our need. God knows what we REALLY NEED; he also knows
what we WANT, but there is a huge difference between the two. We need to have
faith that he cares about and will provide what we really need in the perfect
time. Waiting is hard. In Michael Card's song Marantha, he sings "…
waiting's the most bitter lesson a believing heart has to learn." It is
not easy, but it is essential to our growth that we learn to wait and trust.
