But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength... Isaiah 40:31 AMP "Those who wait" appears to be plural...so we aren't to do this waiting, expecting, looking for, hoping thing on our own. It's so much easier to be hopeful with someone else, to share our burdens, our hurts, our sorrows. When we're waiting on God it's better to do that in community - that's what we're designed for :) When we're together, waiting, we get to share our stories, to see a bit of Jesus in one another, to learn to give a little more, to forgive a little more, to love a little more. Don't waste your waiting. Don't wait alone. #wait #strength #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength... Isaiah 40:31 AMP Such an interesting description of "wait"; expect look for hope in What is it I've wrapped my hopes, expectations, my future in? At different times it may have been my education, my work, my bank account. Another person, a holiday, a business, a gym subscription. An inner world, or just shaking off the shackles and doing whatever I wanted... expect look for hope in For a while one or more of those things may have given strength. But eventually, they drained it. Depleted. The promise here is if we wait on the Lord, Yahweh, put our hope and expectation in Him, let Him hold our future, there's new strength to be found. Not the old, ordinary, rely on me only strength. New strength. I just need to choose to wait on Him. #sunday #worship #thisisourGod #choose #wait #strength
