Isaiah 40:31 -- On Waiting Upon the Lord

"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."
Isaiah 40:31


I'm not certain what it means to "wait upon the Lord," but reading this today, I kind of think that it has to do with patience and trust... having confidence that God's plan will work out for the best, and being willing to do our part in it.

It could also just mean that we are waiting for the Lord to come again. That carries a lot of similar ideas with it too though, because we need to have confidence that will happen, be righteous enough to see that coming as a good thing, and trust that no matter what happens in the interim, God's plan will work out for the best for everyone in the end.

Today, let's wait upon the Lord, knowing that God is faithful and keeps all his promises. Let's try to keep the ones that we have made to him as well, and look forward to that great day. :)
