Day 62 - Hope, trust, wait

Sometimes situations in our lives seem hopeless, impossible, and forever changed. But, through out A Year Full of Hope I am reminded that God can do anything. He can change hearts, He can build bridges, and that nothing is impossible for Him.... we just have to wait on God. We have to give it to Him. We have to trust and hope. I love how Isaiah 40:31 changes with different versions.

"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength." -Isaiah 40:31 (TNIV)


"But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength." -Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)


"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength." Isaiah 40:31 (NLV)


Ultimately we have to do all three. We have to hope, trust, and wait on God. In all areas of our lives. In all conflicts, disappointments, frustrations, and with our fears. But notice that when we do this, we get stronger. God uses the painful and difficult situations in our lives to build us up.

Here is the rest of the verse telling us what happens when we wait, hope, and trust in God and in return gain strength:

"They will rise up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not become weak."


I want to be strong like that. Don't you?
