I was listening to the local Christian radio station on the way home last night and they had the Lincoln Brewster song 'Everlasting God' playing. At the end, his son Levi reads Isaiah 40:31 from the KJV. Something about hearing that last night (I have listened to it countless times before) struck a cord - what does "wait on the Lord" really mean? One of my favorite versions translates the word as "trust" but it goes beyond that. The word is similar to the word for how a servant "serves" his/her master. Waiting on the Lord means to watch and listen for His commands - it means to be ready to move, to trust completely, to rely on for sustenance and shelter (the master has responsibilities to the servant as well).
As you go this day, try "waiting on the Lord" and see how it changes your perspective.
