But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. 

Isaiah 40:31 has always been one of my favorite verses. 

It sounds so promising, doesn’t it? 

Imagine running and not growing weary, walking and not fainting. 

I don’t know if you have ever been in a session of exhaustion or not, but it can be so debilitating. I like to repeat this verse to myself in moments of depletion.

But it wasn’t until recently that I understood what this verse really means. 

And I learned it, by watching a hawk.
