Wait
Isaiah 40:31 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. (KJV)
Isaiah 40:27-31
It is bad to have evil thoughts to rise
in our minds, but worse to turn them into evil words. What they had known,
and had heard, was sufficient to silence all these fears and distrusts.
Where God had begun the work of grace, he will perfect it. He will help
those, who in humble dependence on him, help themselves. As the day, so
shall the strength be. In the strength of Divine grace their souls shall
ascend above the world. They shall run the way of God’s commandments
cheerfully. Let us watch against unbelief, pride, and self confidence.
If we go forth in our own strength, we shall faint, and utterly fall; but
having our hearts and our hopes in heaven, we shall be carried above all difficulties,
and be enabled to lay hold on the prize of our high calling in Christ
Jesus. (from Matthew Henry Concise Commentary)
Wait upon the Lord; let your strength be
in Christ having your mind renewed in things above; for in this you will
continually mount up with wings as eagles letting the Spirit take you above
the cares and concerns of this life so that you are able to run and not be
weary, walk and not faint.
