Faith in Eagle Wings - Isaiah 40:31

We are entering a season of holidays that often brings stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and loneliness. On top of that, there is a lot of chaos and uncertainty in the world that can feel overwhelming and worrisome. But, if we turn to God and His Word, we can find His encouragement, strength and peace to guide and support us through it all.

In Isaiah 40:31, we read, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

God tells us to trust Him. When we rely on Him and look to Him for strength and support, He will lift us up and empower us to do what we could not otherwise endure, overcome, or accomplish.

In the following chapter of Isaiah in 41:10, we read, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

God is always available. He is always with us and will never abandon us. Hebrews 13:5-6 reminds us of this truth, "God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper."

As we place our trust in our loving God, He will make a way through challenging seasons where there seems to be no way from our vantage point. He assures us of this promise in Isaiah 43:2-3,

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior."

No matter what season we are in or what season we are about to enter, let us remember Isaiah 40:31. Let us place our expectant hope and trust in our faithful, loving God. Go to Him in prayer and place it all at His feet. Whatever it is, give it to God. He will renew your strength. He will give you peace and encouragement. He will make a way. He will guide and support you. With God, you will soar on wings like eagles above it all.
