The following is a carefully considered rephrasing of Isaiah 40:31, drawing from the original Hebrew text in an effort to convey the full depth and meaning of each word. “Those who wait upon the Lord — who actively trust, hope for, and expect Him with eager anticipation and steadfast endurance; who patiently cling to Him, binding themselves to Him like strands woven tightly into a cord, trusting in His character, timing, and faithfulness as their only true source of hope — shall exchange their weakness for His strength.

They will soar high like eagles, not through constant striving, but by riding the currents of the Spirit — lifted by divine power above the weight of earthly troubles, with renewed perspective, freedom, and strength.

They will run through life’s intense seasons without growing weary, and walk through the slow, day-to-day journey without fainting. In both the highs and the lows, God will supply them with supernatural endurance, sustaining them in every season of life.”
