Surrendering in Delays and Waiting “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” - Isaiah 40:31(ESV) Rainbow out our front window One of the highlights of my week is attending our church’s ladies gathering called “Table Talk.” This past session, we were learning from notable women in the Bible, many of whom I can easily identify with. Hannah is known for surrendering in waiting. In our everyday lives, at any given time, we are usually waiting for something, waiting to get “there” from “here,” not content to just sit where we are. We often hear reminders to focus on the here and now lest we miss out on the beauty of the moment we are in. “Stop and smell the flowers” or “It’s the journey, not the destination that’s important.” Even the Bible tells us to "Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land . . . " (Psalm 37:34).
