Key Verse:

“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 40:31

Rooted Truth:

God’s strength isn’t a one-time gift—it is renewed daily as we wait on Him.

Faith Story:

George Müller, who cared for thousands of orphans in England during the 1800s, often faced overwhelming needs with no resources in sight. Instead of panicking, Müller would spend hours in prayer, waiting on the Lord. Again and again, God renewed his strength and provided miraculously—sometimes bread and milk arriving at the orphanage door just as the children sat down with empty plates.

Müller once said:

“The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord.”

His strength came not from himself, but from daily renewal in God’s presence.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Lamentations 3:22–23 – “…his mercies… are new every morning…”

2 Corinthians 4:16 – “…our inner self is being renewed day by day.”

Daily Practice:

Take 10 quiet minutes today to “wait on the Lord.” No phone, no distractions—just prayer, Scripture, and listening. Ask Him to renew your strength for what lies ahead.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, I am often weary and worn out, but You never grow tired. Renew my strength today as I wait on You. Lift my heart like an eagle on the wind of Your Spirit. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• What drains your strength the most in daily life?

• How has God renewed your strength in the past?

• How can you build a rhythm of “waiting on the Lord” into your day?
