Soaring in the Storm: Renewed Strength in the Days of Weariness
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)
This familiar verse is often quoted for encouragement. But in today’s prophetic hour, it is more than comfort it is strategy for survival. As global systems fail and personal pressures rise, the Lord is calling His remnant to trust in Him completely. Not partially. Not occasionally. But fully.
The promise is not for those who run ahead. It is for those who wait those who hope, tarry, trust, and seek the Lord while the world collapses into confusion.
The Collapse of Natural Strength
Everywhere we look, humanity is reaching the end of itself. Governments are overwhelmed. Institutions are crumbling. Human effort is producing only greater exhaustion. Artificial intelligence, political unrest, and environmental instability have created a generation that is burning out faster than any in history.
Jesus foretold this:
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
(Luke 21:26, KJV)
This is not just physical fatigue. It is spiritual and emotional collapse under the weight of living apart from God.
But the Lord offers another way. Not escape through distraction or self-help, but divine renewal.
What Does It Mean to "Wait on the Lord"?
To “wait” in Isaiah 40:31 is translated from the Hebrew word qavah, meaning to bind together by twisting, to expect, to look patiently for. It is not passive waiting. It is active dependence like a vine wrapped around a trellis, leaning fully into the strength of another.
Waiting is worship. It is refusing to run in your own power. It is choosing silence over panic, trust over calculation, and surrender over strategy.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
(Proverbs 3:5, KJV)
Those who wait like this are promised renewed strength strength not of human origin, but divine. They rise, not in rebellion or flesh, but in the Spirit. Like eagles, they soar above storms that cripple others.
Why Eagles?
The eagle does not escape the storm. It flies through it. With wings outstretched, it locks into the wind and lets the turbulence carry it higher.
Likewise, those who trust in God in these last days are not exempt from affliction but they are lifted through it. Their strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Their rest is in Christ (Matthew 11:28–30). Their hope is eternal (Titus 2:13).
The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
(Proverbs 18:10, KJV)
Prophetic Urgency: Strength for What Lies Ahead
We are entering days where natural strength will not be enough. Prophecy is unfolding. Nations are aligning. Technology is accelerating toward a global system of control. The “Beast system” of Revelation 13 is no longer theory. It is emerging.
Those who do not wait on the Lord will faint. They will fall for deception. They will be swept away in fear, fatigue, and apostasy.
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
(2 Thessalonians 3:13, KJV)
The Church must stop striving in the flesh and start soaring in the Spirit. The remnant must stop looking to men and start looking to God.
A Call to Repentance
This strength, this soaring, is not for everyone. It is for those who belong to the Lord those who have been born again, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
If you have never truly surrendered to Jesus Christ, then no amount of motivation or meditation will sustain you in what is coming. You must be made new.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(Romans 3:23, KJV)
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Romans 6:23, KJV)
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:8, KJV)
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(Romans 10:9, KJV)
Conclusion
The winds are rising. The storm is not coming it is already here. But for those who wait upon the Lord, this storm is not your end. It is your elevation.
Do not run ahead. Do not lean on your own understanding. Bind yourself to the Lord. Look to Him with expectation. Trust Him to renew what this world has drained.
Those who wait will rise. Those who hope will soar. Those who trust will endure.
