Waiting, the New Pasttime

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.

I had a dream last night, I was riding in a car with three of my heroes. Now before you start thinking sports starts let me stop you. Growing up my heroes were the members of Southern Gospel Quartets, and in this car ride I was with George Younce, Glen Payne, and Roger Bennett of the Cathedrals Quartet. While we were riding, Younce looked over at me and said, "What is the worst part about waiting on God?" I laughed and said "Not knowing His clock."
I woke up and realized I was preaching to myself. Let me explain, for 25 years I have been a public school teacher, this past year I was non-renewed, so essentially I'm unemployed. I have applied for teaching jobs all over my area but to now avail. I'm waiting but now we are two weeks into school, and I still am not teaching.
I suppose perhaps God is leading me into another direction, just don't know exactly what that is, and watching my wife go to work everyday seems to drive the spirit of despair deeper. So I wait! I am using this time to study and pray and seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit to help me. I always tell people don't pray for patience, you won't like how that works, so I have never asked for it, apparently now I have to learn it. 
What about you dear friend, what does God have you waiting for? A job, a mate, a child or something else? Then all I can tell you from experience is to wait on his timing, use the down time to prepare yourself for the miracle, and when it comes you will take flight in both praise and thanksgiving and relief.

Heavenly Father, 
Teach us to wait on you and not to lean on our understanding. Give me strength to hold tight to your hand, knowing you are in full control of all things. I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ the Son of the living God, and my High Priest. AMEN
