Isaiah 40:31
“But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.”
This verse comes from the prophet Isaiah, who spoke to the people of Judah during a time of great distress, particularly anticipating and addressing the Babylonian exile. Chapter 40 begins a section offering comfort and hope to a people facing or enduring profound loss and displacement.
What does this passage suggest about the nature of patience and persistence during times of deep uncertainty?
