They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings like eagles.1. Waiting upon the Lord is simply knowing what He wants you to do in your
situation.

bible and pray in your first hour of the day.

4. It is being silent in His presence.
Man shall not live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)
1. “Word” here in Greek is Rhema. Which means specific word for a specific
person or group of persons for the specific time.
2. We live and move and have our being because of God. Therefore He should
have Lordship over all areas of our lives.
3. God has always a word for us everyday.
We should spend time to hear from Him.
