Gaining Wait
29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 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 40:29-31 I decided to sketch this after God brought it to my attention several times in a few short days. Have you noticed passages in the Bible that repeat the same theme or phrase? While reading, I take this as a sign to slow down and pay attention. When the same thing happens in my own life, I do the same. I greatly appreciate in this passage the way that God promises to renew us where we are. Some days all I feel like I can do is place one foot in front of the other. It is comforting to remember that God is with me, even on those days. Or perhaps especially on those days.
