Isaiah 40:31 “They that wait upon the
Lord…shall walk and not faint.”
Right now, with everything that is going on
around us both globally and personally, my family has taken this verse
sincerely to heart. Here is Isaiah 40:31 in its entirety: “But 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.” (NIV) Hope
in God brings strength, gives us wings to soar, and is also an anchor. Another
of my favorite verses is Hebrews 6:19 “We have this hope as an anchor for the
soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.”(NIV)
Chambers talks about how the word “walk” in
the Bible is used to convey character rather than the physical action of
sauntering from here to there. When we begin to look outside of our walk with
God to fill a need, a fear, a thrill, or a sorrow, we will surely fall. Satan
is battling for our souls every minute of every day, so we must be vigilant,
for he wants us destroyed. However, when we wait upon God and put our hope
fully in Him, no matter how difficult the waiting period may be, we will arise
in strength. Remember always that He is the Victor! When we feel confused and
weary, He understands, and will be tugging at our hearts and minds with the
words, “Do you trust me?” Chambers writes, “He will press through them and
check, then we must be quiet and wait for the direction of His presence.”
I will wait and hold onto the hope that is
found in my God. Even when the storm is raging around me, I will trust and lift
my voice in praise to Him.
