Let’s be honest—you’re here because you know there’s more for you. You have dreams, ambitions, and a vision for something greater. But maybe you’re feeling tired, stuck, or wondering, When is it going to happen for me? Let me assure you, your time isn’t being held back—it’s being prepared. Let’s dive into how you can step into the greatness that’s waiting for you.
Isaiah 40:31 hits hard with this promise: “But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” This isn’t just encouragement; it’s a blueprint for how to live with purpose and power. Let’s break it down.
1. Waiting Isn’t Wasting
The first line is key: “Those who wait upon the LORD.” Waiting doesn’t mean sitting around doing nothing—it’s about active trust. The Hebrew word for “wait” (qavah) means to hope and expect. It’s a posture of faith, not frustration.
Think about it. When you’re waiting on something big, you prepare. You work on yourself. You stay ready. Waiting on the LORD is the same—it’s trusting His timing while sharpening your skills, growing in your faith, and aligning your vision with His purpose.
2. Strength Renewed: God’s Power, Not Yours
Here’s the promise: “They will renew their strength.” Life has a way of draining you—physically, emotionally, spiritually. But God doesn’t expect you to run on empty. His strength is your fuel.
Paul echoes this in 2 Corinthians 4:16: “Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.” When you trust God, He doesn’t just give you energy—He gives you power, resilience, and perspective. This is about transformation, not just a quick fix.
3. Soar Like Eagles: See the Bigger Picture
“They will mount up with wings like eagles.” Why eagles? Because they soar above the storms. They don’t flap around in panic—they rise high, using the wind to lift them. That’s what God calls you to do.
Instead of getting caught in the chaos, trust God to help you rise above. This doesn’t mean the challenges disappear—it means you gain the strength and perspective to handle them. Like an eagle, you’re built to soar.
4. Run with Endurance, Walk with Faithfulness
“They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” Life isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon. You need endurance to handle the long haul, and God promises to give it to you.
Running represents those seasons when you’re pushing hard—chasing dreams, grinding daily, and working toward your goals. Walking represents the steady progress, the daily faithfulness that builds your character. In both, God provides the strength you need to keep moving forward.
5. What This Means for You
- Stay Active in the Waiting: Don’t waste this season. Use it to grow stronger spiritually, mentally, and physically.
- Lean on God’s Strength: Stop relying on your own power. Pray, trust, and ask the Holy Spirit to renew you every day.
- Shift Your Perspective: When life gets tough, don’t fight the storm—rise above it. Trust that God is working all things for your good.
- Keep Moving Forward: Whether you’re running toward a big goal or walking through a tough season, don’t quit. God’s got you.
