Isaiah 40:31 promises that those who “wait on the ward will renew their strength,” enabling them to soar like eagles, run without weariness, and walk without fainting
Waiting on the Lord is not passive, but a confident, expectant hope in God. It involves trusting His timing, not just passing time.
In our human strength, we are limited, but those who wait on God receive His power. It is an exchange -we give Him our exhaustion and He gives us His strength.
Like Eagles that use storms to rise higher, we can also use life challenges to write above in faith.
This promise is for endurance. It covers dramatic moments and the daily mundane tasks of life, allowing us to live without fainting.
When we are weary, God‘s power is made perfect in our weakness, and often is given when we cannot that we cannot continue on our own.
Practical waiting, occurs through prayer and studying God‘s Word.
We can be encouraged that when facing difficulties, we can change the why question into what question and focus on what God wants us to do.
When we finally stop trying to handle everything on our own, we can bring ourselves out of the ashes of fatigue.
