Isaiah 40:31 "Those
who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be
faint."
An eagle soars somewhat effortlessly. He cannot create or direct wind, but he greatly benefits from its silent effect. He is hopeful that the wind will blow again tomorrow. But if it is boisterous or too mild, he may wait in his nest, positioned in the cleft of the rock. He experiences rest and renewal while he anticipates the energizing power of the unseen wind.
In the same way, the Holy Spirit lifts those who wait to
be empowered by Him. Rest in God. Let the wings of your faith carry
you as you wait on the wind of the Holy Spirit to empower you.
You can run God’s race with patient endurance, but it comes through the process of hope and renewal. Indeed, the Lord is your hope and strength. Hope in God expands your capacity. You can run harder and farther in the renewed strength of the Holy Spirit. This is eternal energy that comes from God. Hope in the Lord renews your strength.
