He gives power to the faint,    and to him who has no might he increases strength.30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,    and young men shall fall exhausted;31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;they shall run and not be weary;    they shall walk and not faint.--- Isaiah 40:29-31 ESVEven the strongest people get tired at times, but God’s power and strength never diminish. He is never too tired or too busy to help and listen. His strength is our source of strength. When you feel all of life crushing you and you cannot go another step, remember that you can call upon God to renew your strength. Trusting in the Lord is the patient expectation that God will fulfill his promises in his Word and strengthen us to rise above life’s difficulties. Do you believe God loves you and wants the best for you? Can you relax, confident that his purposes are right? Are you convinced that he has the power to control all of life---and your life as well? Though your faith may be struggling or weak, accept his provisions and care for you.--- Life Application Study Bible notes‘Wait for the Lord’ - See Isaiah 8:17; 49:23. There is a general principle here that patient, praying believers are blessed by God with strength in their trials (cf. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10). The Lord also expected His people to be patient and await His coming in glory at the end to fulfill the promises of national deliverance when believing Israel would become stronger than they had ever been.--- MacArthur Study Bible notes
