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.
One of my earliest memories of learning this verse was at church soccer when I was around 9 years old. My dad was my coach, and everyone on the team had liked the name my dad picked out: the Golden Eagles, because our jerseys were a goldish-yellow color. My dad read this verse to our team, and told us that it would be our team verse.
Over the past couple of days, the Holy Spirit has showed me this verse several times. I'm not exactly sure why it is relevant to this moment, but I know that it is a verse God wants me to meditate on right now. I have always loved this verse, especially because I run cross country. This verse alwasy seems to give me an energy boost when I think of it as I'm running.
But I think that God might be wanting to meditate on a different part of the verse right now. "Wait upon the LORD." I cannot do things apart from His strength, and if it's not His timing, all that I can do is wait. I don't know what any of you might be going through right now, but I encourage you, wait upon the Lord.
