(Questions and Scriptures for further study)
How good are you at waiting?
Would you say that your ability to wait is getting better or worse?
What makes waiting so hard?
Does it make it any easier when you are waiting for God?
Consider how waiting implies “longing for God.”
Read Psalm 62:1.
David is in distress. David has some industrial-strength problems, and he’s saying, “O God, I need You. You are my hope, my salvation.” Do you believe that, or do you believe that you are your salvation?
Do you long for God to do a great work in your life or do you long for a solution?
What is the difference?
Consider how waiting implies “listening to God.”
Read Proverbs 8:34.
He’s there at the gate when the Lord comes out, like a servant.
The reason that many of us are stressed is we’re doing things God’s never assigned us to do. And the reason we’re doing things God never assigned us to do is we haven’t been listening to God. We have not been waiting upon the Lord.
Do you have a daily quiet time?
Do you have a time when you listen?
Do you “report for duty,” or are you doing things that you’ve assigned yourself, or others have assigned you, but you’re not doing what God wants you to do?
Consider how waiting implies “looking to the Lord.”
Read Psalm 104:27.
The little animals, they look to the Lord by instinct. They all wait upon God.
Do you look to the Lord?
Do you look to the Lord first for your source of supply?
What does that look like in your life?
Consider how waiting implies “living for the Lord.”
Read Proverbs 27:18.
Now what does it mean to wait on your master?
It means to serve him. Do you live to serve the LORD or self?
Again, what does or should that look like?
Read Isaiah 40:27-28.
What situation were the people facing?
How did they get in that situation?
Were they just in their complaint against God?
Read Isaiah 40:28.
What does God reveal about himself in this passage?
How does that relate to their situation?
Sometimes we feel far from God. In those situations, who moved?
Should we rely on our feelings?
What do we need to know about God in times that we feel distant?
Read Isaiah 40:29:-31.
What are some things that make you tired?
What makes you spiritually tired?
How does God renew our strength?
Can you share a time when God has taken you from fainting to soaring?
What personal needs has the Holy Spirit exposed during this study?
How can we pray with you about those needs?
Consider memorizing Isaiah 40:28.
