Wings As Eagles

[Isa. 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.
Understanding the greatness and glory of G-d persuades us that there is nothing in our life hidden from G-d, and there is nothing neglected by G-d.
People asked this question doubted there was a G-d who created all.
The ones asked the same question in this verse seem to know there is a creator, but live as practical atheists.
They don't seem to understand that the fact there is a G-d of all creation makes a difference in everyday life.
How easy it is to believe in the infinite power of G-d and at the same time to feel that He is unable to meet our personal needs!
He neither faints nor is weary and His understanding is unsearchable.
Some who really believed these truths about G-d would live as if G-d was really there!
G-d gives power to: the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Those who are proud and confident in their own wisdom and strength will receive no strength from G-d.
Those who thought themselves strong find themselves weak.
G-d's strength is reserved for those who know they are weak, and know they have no might.
How do we receive this strength from the L-rd? We receive it as we wait on the L-rd.
The idea behind wait on the L-rd is not a passive sitting around until the L-rd does something.
Yes, G-d gives us strength; but we don't expect it to come as if He were pouring it into as you sit passively.
He brings it to us as we seek Him, and rely on Him, instead of our own strength.
If we are weak, it is because we do not wait on the L-rd!
They shall mount up with wings like eagles is the measure of strength the L-rd gives us - strength to soar above everything else.
They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint is the purpose of the strength the L-rd gives us - strength to move forward and progress for Him.
It isn't strength to show off, but strength to go forward in.
Weary in Isaiah means "exhaustion because of the hardness of life.
If we are worn out for either reason, G-d is here to give us strength - if we will wait on Him!
We recognize that we soar up into heavenly places in Y’Shua HaMashiach (Ephesians 2:6).
Then we set ourselves on the course to run the race (Hebrews 12:1).
Then we are in the good place to walk the walk (Colossians 2:6).
