“But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”

Reflection
Isaiah 40:31 speaks to the person who is tired, discouraged, and wondering how they are going to keep going. God does not condemn us for becoming weary; instead, He reminds us that He is the source of strength we cannot create on our own. Waiting on God can be difficult because we often want immediate answers, immediate change, and immediate relief. Yet sometimes the waiting is where God teaches us to trust Him more deeply and depend less on our own strength.
