Inspiration for Your Week #1

Good morning, friends! I thought I’d do something a bit different today. I love collecting quotes, so at the beginning of each week, I plan to do a short post with an inspirational quote and a Bible verse to think about through the week. I would love to hear your favorite quote, or if the Lord has used a particular verse to encourage you, so feel free to chime in through the comments!

This week’s thought:

“Waiting always involves the character of our thoughts of the one on whom we wait. Our waiting on God will depend on our faith in what He is. In our text we have the close of a passage in which God reveals Himself as the everlasting and almighty One [Isaiah 40:27-31]. It is as that revelation enters our soul that the waiting becomes the spontaneous expression of what we know Him to be–a God altogether worthy to be waited upon.” –Andrew Murray, Waiting on God: A 31-Day Study

“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 40:31).”
