Read moreWaiting on the Lord: What Does it Mean?
What does it mean to wait on the Lord? I believe it’s another way of saying that we trust God. We trust him, as Lord in Heaven, who is in control of everything, to guard our life.
The promise that follows, in Isaiah 40:31, is beautiful. I love the imagery of my strength being renewed. Eagles wings, running without getting tired…I’ll take it all!
