“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) These words are very well known. Most often, we concentrate on all except the first five: but they who wait. Sure, we look forward to the grand finale, reaching that tape at the end of this race, but we tend to overlook the fact that there’s a whole lot of other things that need to happen first, which is when the rest of the verse takes place.
