“But 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).
I love the fact that God renews our strength. As we wait upon Him, it’s not an empty waiting. During that waiting I believe someone is praying for us. You may ask, how can I be so sure? Hebrews 7:25 states that He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Then sometimes the Lord will give us a Word, or have us meet someone "accidently" in the super market who will have a word of encouragement for us. Sometimes in this waiting when we reach out to someone the Lord will reach out to us and fill us with hope.
There are numerous things that happen while we wait. The absolutely amazing thing is that while we wait on the Lord and not on a person there is hope.
For a few years I was often puzzled about that fact that why we shall run and not be weary and walk and not faint. More than likely we shall faint when we are running, right?
Have you seen athletes that run track? When they finish a long track they normally start walking and some who have done too much just keel, fall over and faint. So they don't normally faint while they are running they just grow weary. Then when the race is almost done they are out of strength that's when they faint.
Interesting that God wants us to know that we are not ordinary, worldly athletes. The Kingdom race is different.
Take courage today if you are waiting on Him, you will not grow weary and for sure you will not faint. His strength will be your portion and be encouraged He is praying for you.
