Expressions of faith

Isaiah 40:28-31 encourages believers to trust in God's strength, wait on His timing, and rely on spiritual strength for true fulfillment.

Isaiah, the prophet, admonished Israel: “They that wait on the Lord” are ushered into the presence of God’s awareness. Whatever your need, know that the Lord is able and available to come through on your behalf. The only person you can find true comfort in at your time of need is God or Elohim. As you wait on Him, don’t become weary in doing good, for at the right season [the right time], you will receive if you don’t give up. Waiting is a sign of patience, a sign of trusting God, and a true sign of believing in Him.

Worrying is a sign of being impatient, of doubting, and not trusting God’s process or the necessary steps in order to achieve a particular goal.

Being impatient will causes anxiety or potential problems that you cannot solve.

Some problems seem impossible to solve. But always remember that the mindset you used to cause a problem cannot be the same mindset you use to solve that problem. The same thinking you used in causing a problem will create a bigger problem. This is why you need to trust the process, no matter what it my be.

Whatever you do in life, trust a covenant-keeping God by believing in Him. So Isaiah said: “I write unto you not just to reprove you or rebuke you, but to ask you an everlasting question. Do you not know, have you not heard, that the everlasting God [Yahweh], the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is He weary? There is no searching of His understanding. He gives power to the faint. To them that have no might, He increases strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. 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 40:28-31.

I’m only asking you an everlasting question, because You cannot trust your own sufficiency or strength. You cannot trust in your own will; you cannot trust in your own power. Your trust must be in God. God is not looking at your quality or state of being physically strong. He is looking for how spiritually strong you are. Whatever you do, wait on God and trust God. He will renew your strength.

God looks at how strong you are on the inside. When you have spiritual strength, it activates your spirit and connects you to the divine power and presence of God from within—giving you the power you need to live a life of purpose and fulfillment. This is why you must have values, beliefs, and purpose in your life that demonstrates exactly who God is within you.
