“Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
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.” – Isaiah 40:28-31 (ESV)
Waiting is tough. Whether it’s a short-term trial, or a longer more complicated struggle, sometimes waiting for that light on the horizon can seem extremely daunting. Know however, that no matter how difficult a road lies ahead, God isn’t shaken. When we rest in the confidence that our Heavenly Father desires the best for His Children and persevere towards furthering His works, our waiting takes on a completely different perspective.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
Amen! I needed to hear this today. Thank you, Phil.
I love that God is unchanging through it all and that no problem is bigger than Him! Blessings Phil 🙂
Thanks for this, Phil. Waiting is really a tough thing to have to do but with the Lord we know whatever the answer is it will glorify Him in the end. I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have the Lord and His strength, I do know we wouldn’t be able to go through it. Thanks for your words, Phil.
Blessings to you and for your blog.
No matter what, God isn’t shaken! I love that truth, Phil, and I need to remember that when it feels like everything around me is shaking.
No one else can ever give us the strength that we need like God, even when we aren’t aware of it He gives us the strength in those moments.
