PeaceWaiting Renews Strength
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Those who wait expectantly for the Lord discover that waiting itself becomes a source of renewed strength.
Waiting on God isn't passive resignation but active trust and expectation. This posture of dependence allows God to exchange our weakness for His strength. The promise is threefold: soaring like eagles in high vision, running without weariness in sustained effort, and walking without fainting in daily endurance. Advent teaches us the spiritual discipline of waiting for God's promises.
For Today
In your weariness today, practice waiting on the Lord, allowing Him to renew your strength for the tasks ahead.
Prayer
Eternal God, teach us to wait upon You. Renew our strength so we may soar, run, and walk in Your power. We trust Your timing. Amen.
