Strength in the Wait

Waiting Isn’t Wasted


 Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)

“…but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength…”


️ Devotional

Waiting isn’t weakness—it’s warfare.

When you wait on the Lord, you’re not doing nothing. You’re trusting, resting, and letting Him work while you prepare.

The world rushes. But God builds slowly—and strong.

He doesn’t just give strength. He renews it. And those who wait? They soar.


 Takeaway of the Day

• “Wait for the Lord…” – Are you waiting or just worrying?

• “Shall renew their strength…” – Where do you need supernatural strength today?

• “They shall mount up…” – What could God be preparing you to rise into?


 Prayer

Lord, I choose to wait on You. Teach me how to trust Your timing and lean into Your strength. I believe You are working even in the silence. Amen.
