On the Wings of Eagles
Oil
By Cheryl Welty
Isaiah 40:30-31
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
We all get tired. No matter what our age, we get tired: from work, from society, from politics, from those we love the most, and of course tired from physical activities. To me, the most important part of these verses are the words, “hope in the Lord.” With hope in the Lord, our strength will be renewed, and we will soar on wings like eagles.
