Isaiah 40:31

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."

I have heard this scripture for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact, our Pastor just talked about it a month or so ago and while i was in agreement with what he was saying, I didn't really get it....until today.

While I was praying today, I kept saying, "Lord, I know you are doing something great....I am waiting for you no matter how long it takes." As I was praying, God spoke this scripture to me and it hit home.....how can those who wait upon the Lord renew their strength? How does waiting on anything bring strength? DUH........waiting produces patience......waiting produces humility.......waiting produces faith........waiting produces endurance........waiting is training.......strength training......

But take it a step further.....They that wait upon the LORD......shall renew their strength.......here comes the supernatural part..........Ready?......
"They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint."

There is the testimony.  People say "Wow, how are you going thru this or that?  How are you staying so strong?  How?...How? ...How? 
Isaiah 40:31 is how.......God is how.....

So the next time when we encounter something that we know we have to wait for, consider it continued strength training for your soul, and a powerful testimony to everyone elses......


Father, Thank you for your continued patience with me as your child.  You are amazing and an awesome loving father! Thank you for always speaking to me in a very real way.  May your name be glorified in all I do. Amen.
