Wait on the Lord - Daily Inspiration


but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength. 
They will soar on wings like eagles; 
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

— Isaiah 40:31 NIV

I'm falling back to my favorite bible verse today: Isaiah 40:31. It always reminds me of a Steven Curtis Chapman song called "Wait". It's from one of his earlier albums. Yes, I'm a SCC geek. I used to listen to his music constantly. I knew every song lyric to every song.

I once went to Agape, which is a christian music concert sponsored by Greenville College, which isn't too far away from where I live. My friend, Kent, went with me. He marveled at the fact that I could sing along with every song SCC sang that day at the concert.

I have to admit, I don't think I could do a lot of the recent albums in the same way. I used to listen to albums on my commute to work when I worked in St. Louis. And that commute was an hour. My commute today is five to eight minutes. So, I just get a small snippet of the music listening time that I used to have. Listening to music was the ONLY thing I liked about my commute to St. Louis. I'm not a driver. I'd rather be a passenger. I sometimes took the train (MetroLink) on Wednesdays and I LOVED that.

So, why not listen to some christian music today. Maybe listen to the song "Wait". It's a great one. I've provided a YouTube link at the bottom if you want to listen to it.

Have a great day!



Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD. — Psalm 31:24

We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. — Psalm 33:20
