Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
How many times have you looked at your own life and wondered why you were not renewing or even gaining new strength? If you’re like me, the answer is quite a few times. You may not be mounting up with wings like eagles and rising above your problems. You may be running through life with its unique problems and getting extremely tired. You might find yourself walking through life's experiences and adversities with much weariness. If you fit into this category (most of us do) you’ve probably questioned what was wrong. It's a good question that deserves an answer.
This verse of scripture is talking about strength and it's attributes. It mentions renewing strength and gaining new strength. It mentions the strength of an eagle's wings that lift it high above the earth. It mentions the strength necessary to run without becoming weary and the strength to walk without becoming faint. It's all about strength. Specifically, it's about attributes of strength in our lives.
In order for us to renew and gain new strength, mount up with eagle's wings, run and not get weary, walk and not become faint, something must first happen. We must do something in order for the strength in this verse to come to pass in our lives. So what is it that we have to do? What is the key that unlocks the strength in this verse that we so desperately need?
The key to this verse is the word WAIT. Those who wait on the Lord get all the attributes of strength listed in this verse. So if we want the strength in its various forms listed in this verse, then we must first learn how WAIT on the Lord. Think of it this way: if we don’t learn to WAIT on the Lord, we'll never get the strength of the Lord.
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
