Scripture (KJV) – Isaiah 40:31
“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.”
Reflection
Waiting is one of the hardest things for us to do, especially when we want answers, direction, or relief right now. But this verse shows us that waiting on the Lord is not wasted time—it is strengthening time. It is in the waiting that God renews, restores, and prepares us.
To “wait upon the Lord” means more than just being still—it means trusting Him, seeking Him, and depending on Him in the process. Instead of striving in our own strength, we learn to rest in His. And when we do, God promises something powerful: renewed strength.
The imagery here is beautiful. Like an eagle rising above the storm, God lifts us higher than our circumstances. He gives us endurance to keep running and faithfulness to keep walking, even when the journey feels long.
If you feel tired, discouraged, or worn down today, don’t rush ahead—wait on the Lord. He is working in you, strengthening you, and preparing you for what’s ahead.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Teach me to wait on You with patience and trust. When I feel weary, renew my strength and lift my spirit. Help me not to rely on my own timing, but to rest in Yours. Give me endurance to keep going, faith to keep trusting, and peace to know that You are in control. Strengthen me for the journey ahead.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
