Waiting on God

(copied from the "NIV Application Commentary: Isaiah" by John N. Oswalt, page 448)

 We come back to the theme of trust.  The concept of trust as waiting.  To "wait" on God is not simply to mark time, rather, it is to live in confident expectation of his action on our behalf.  It is to refuse to run ahead of him in trying to solve our problems for ourselves.  Thus, just as Isaiah called on the people of his own day to trust God to solve their problems, he calls on the exiles in the age to come to do the same thing.  If they are worn out and weary, hardly daring to believe that there is any future for them, the God of all strength can give them exactly what they need at the right time, whether to "soar", "run", or "walk".
