Isaiah 40:31
They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings;They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
“To hope in the Lord is to trust him fully with our lives; it involves looking to him as our source of help and grace in time of need. (Psalm 25:3-5; 27:14; Luke 2:25, 36-38)
Those who hope in the Lord are promised:
- God’s strength to revive them in the midst of exhaustion and weakness of suffering and trial;
- The ability to rise above their difficulties like an eagle that soars into the sky; and
- The ability to run spiritually without tiring and to walk steadily forward without fainting at God’s delays.
God’s promises that if his people will patiently wait trust him, he will provide whatever is needed to sustain them constantly (1 Peter1:5).
