Renewed (pt.2): Provision In God's Presence

As Christians, we should be constantly seeking to renew our minds and our spirit to grow a relationship with God. As is the theme in the discussions of The Deception and the Truth, we should pray to converse with God, read the Bible to hear His answers, and then implement what we have learned to do those things that would cause us to grow. But in some instances we are asked to simply wait. Not necessarily doing nothing, but staying where we are in expectancy for a move of God in our lives, and then taking our cue and taking action. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.(Isaiah 40:31 KJV)  

God knows that we get faint and weary and tired sometimes. In the earlier verses of Isaiah 40, Isaiah asks the people basically, “Do you not know that God never gets faint himself? So imagine what he can do for you!” Isaiah assured us what God would do, back in chapter 35:

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you.  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.  And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.  And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.  No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:  And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:4‭-‬10
