Soar Like an Eagle

“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
—Isaiah 40:29-31 (ESV)

The prophet Isaiah uses a physical metaphor to illustrate the spiritual power of the Lord.

Strength Renewed by Waiting

Isaiah knew that even the strongest, most energetic young people eventually grow tired. But God’s promise goes deeper than physical ability—He offers supernatural renewal. When we wait upon the Lord, relying on His timing and trusting in His provision, He gives us what no earthly source can: renewed strength from above.

This divine empowerment is not just a recharge—it’s a transformation. Those who place their hope in the Lord will mount up with wings like eagles. Eagles have wingspans of up to eight feet and are designed to soar high, using minimal energy while riding the wind. What an image of God’s efficiency in blessing His people!

Soaring Through Life’s Challenges

When Christians “soar like an eagle,” they are spiritually energized to rise above the trials of life. It is not by our own effort that we overcome anxiety, grief, fatigue, or temptation. Instead, we trust in the One who strengthens the faint and empowers the powerless. God’s grace lifts us. His Spirit sustains us.

This day, open your heart and stretch out your arms—physically or metaphorically—and receive the power of the Lord. Don’t just survive. Soar.

Let Us Pray

Lord, I am weary and often faint, but I place my hope in You. Renew my strength today. Let me rise above worry and doubt, and soar with Your Spirit. Amen.
