—Isaiah 40:27-31
by: Cheri Appel.
This message of hope for the people of Israel included highly encouraging verses! 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. Wow! That is exciting news! However, the Holy Spirit guides us not to leave out, but rather go back and process the beginning of the first sentence: “Yet those who wait for the LORD” (v.31). Herein lays the challenge. God’s answer to our prayer requests is most often, “Wait.” Are we willing to wait patiently—trusting Him and believing He will fulfill His promises?
