Isaiah 40:31
“But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings as eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.”
This verse is from the book of Isaiah, a prophet who spoke to the people of Judah during a time of immense political and social upheaval, including the looming threat of exile and then the experience of it. Chapter 40 begins a section often called 'The Book of Consolation,' aiming to bring hope to a disheartened people facing displacement and loss.
How might 'waiting for Yahweh' shape our perspective and actions when facing profound uncertainty and change today?
