Waiting on Godનમૂનો

Here’s what Isaiah 40:31 says about the ones who “wait upon the Lord”:

1. “THEY WILL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES.” When a mama eagle kicks her baby out of the nest, she’s trying to teach it to fly. This rarely works the first time. The eaglet flails and flaps and falls until the mama eagle swoops down to catch her baby and bring it back to the nest. One way God gives us new strength is by diving down into our situation and lifting us out of it. 

2. “THEY WILL RUN AND NOT GET TIRED.” Sometimes God doesn’t swoop from the sky to lift us out of trouble. Instead, He gives us a second wind to run through it. God says that if we focus on Him, even though we’re running, He will give us a second wind so we can go through this pain and beyond the problem we face. 

3. “THEY WILL WALK AND NOT BECOME WEARY.” If you can no longer run, start walking. Limp if you have to. Crawl even. Just keep moving forward. When life wears you down, don’t give up. You can keep pressing on because a strength greater than your own is there to help you keep going. 

Sometimes God will fix our problems, but sometimes He gives us the strength and grace to get through them.
