Wait Upon the Lord by Billy Graham

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 23 of 366 Wait Upon the Lord Jerome, one of the early Christians, said, "Ignorance of the Bible means ignorance of Christ." Job once said, "I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food." Jeremiah said, "Thy words were found and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart." To read the Bible one needs a "quiet time." Christian students often ask, "How do you maintain your spiritual high? What do you do on a daily basis?" I tell them about my "quiet time." Some days it is in the early-sometimes late-morning, sometimes evening. Without it, my Christian life would be a wilderness. Isaiah said, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31). So gain the strength of eagles, as the prophet suggested. Set a time each day when you can spend a few minutes alone with God. Daily Prayer Dear Lord, teach us to wait upon You, that we may know Your strength. Psalms 105:3-4 NASB 3 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the L ord be glad. 4 Seek the L ord and His strength;
