Waiting as God’s People

Waiting is something most people dislike, but the experience is not new for God’s people.  The scriptures describe many examples where God called his people to wait in the midst of various circumstances, such as Abraham, Moses, the children of Israel, Mary, and Christians.  Using Isaiah 40:28-31 as the focus, several key concepts are developed including: 1) waiting implies trust and hope, 2) waiting brings renewed strength, and 3) waiting for the Lord removes weariness.  The lesson concludes with the encouragement to claim God’s promise and lift up your eyes to the Lord.
