Wings as Eagles

Isaiah 40:31 ESV

but they who wait for 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.

Isaiah 40:31 teaches that those who wait for the Lord will

exchange their weariness for renewed strength.

Moving out of a state of exhaustion and into a place of

confident strength requires waiting on God.

What does it mean to wait?

We always solve problems or challenges on the same level

that we see them.

Two Hebrew words translated for wait.

The first is Yakhal, which means; to simply wait for.

The second is Qavah,

Qavah is the hope filled waiting with expectation for God to

come and bring deliverance, healing, and freedom.

Their circumstances have shaped their perception, and now

they can only see the world through the narrow lens of their

present reality.

Waiting on the Lord is all about memory.

To wait for the Lord is to remember.

Isaiah 40: 28-30 ESV

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the

everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He

does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is

unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who

has no might he increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall

fall exhausted; but........ But..

Waiting is being in a state of actively meditating on who God

is and what He has done and what He will do.

Exodus 19:4 ESV

You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and

how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

By actively recalling what is true about God we remind

ourselves about our potential to rise above all of life's

circumstances by waiting for the Lord.
