On today’s Give Him 15 post, Dutch Sheets talked about the Hebrew word for “wait,” (one of them), which is qavah. Part of it means to be entwined, such as braided together.
31 Yet
those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
14 Wait
for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
As we wait on the Lord, we become entwined and joined together with Him into a oneness, as in a braid. Though this gives us increased strength, it also entwines our hearts with His, giving us clearer purpose and vision, so we may become a reflection of who He is.
18 But
we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the
Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just
as from the Lord, the Spirit.
So, as we reflect on Jesus inwardly, we will be changed into His image, resulting in us reflecting His image outwardly.
Amazing.
It goes along with 1 John 3:2-3
2 Beloved,
now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we
will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because
we will see Him just as He is. 3 And everyone
who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself,
just as He is pure.
Spend some time waiting on the Lord--waiting with the Lord--today. Spend some time reflecting on Him, who He is, and as you do, you will reflect His image to others. What a joy, and what an honor!
