ARE YOU IN A HOLDING PATTERN!

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint". Isaiah 40:31. My friend, I know It's hard for us to WAIT! Three years ago I was flying back from my mission trip extremely tired and was eager to get back to my family and my own bed. As we were approaching Dallas, the Captain spoke into the PA system and said " The traffic Controller from the tower instructed that we should WAIT and we are going to assume a HOLDING PATTERN until further instruction come from the tower". What a strange place to have to wait- IN THE AIR? All passengers were very much concerned until the stewardess quickly eased our fears by saying that the planes always carry enough fuel to withstand these kind of delays. As I was praying, I began to wonder "Isn't that the way in our life when God speaks from heaven "Assume a holding pattern until further notice". The question is "Do you have enough fuel (FAITH) to assume holding pattern and wait for the promise"? TADA! Bro; waiting upon God can be one of the most trying of all trials. Trouble with all of us who prays is that we say "Amen" and run away before God has a chance to talk to us. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him your ideas and shopping lists. I have a suggestion for you. While you are in your "holding pattern", keep praying, keep believing, and keep knocking! Your Plane will land safely in HIS time and everything will be alright buddy!! Y'all hear me???
