Bringing Faith to Life
HOPE
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
Hope.
A four-letter word that means everything.
In Spanish esperar and esperanza ...
To wait and to hope, the same root verb.
As we wait, we hope, when we wait upon the Lord.
Oh, but this is no leisurely waiting.
This is not biding our time while the Commander of the Universe
magically spins the wheel of fortune and we win the big prize.
As we wait, we are renewed:
we fly. we run. we walk. we carry on.
We real-ize hope.
