Be Steadfast

“He gives strength to the weary, and to the one who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary” (Isaiah 40:29-31 NASB).

The word “to wait” in Hebrew also means “to hope.” The ability to remain steadfast, unmoved no matter what the circumstances—that’s what the Bible means by faith.

Faith in the Bible does not refer to “belief” in the sense of some inward, psychological state; rather, faith is steadfastness. It’s hard to remain steadfast when you’re tired. It’s hard to continue hoping when nothing seems to change, “yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength.”

One of the reasons athletes train and condition is so that when they call upon their bodies to perform at peak levels during a performance, they can do so without becoming tired. When we are tired, we lose focus; we don’t function well. Tiredness affects mental and physical performance; it impacts our emotional health. It opens us up to giving up. Do we have patience to wait on God?

That’s becoming increasingly difficult in our world today. We want rapid answers to our questions and prompt solutions to our problems. Waiting patiently for God seems so counterintuitive in our modern culture.

Paul spoke about what produces hope in our lives: “Affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us” (Romans 5:3-5 HCSB).

Affliction, or suffering, produces endurance, and endurance produces hope. Our waiting and steadfastness produce hope in our lives.

We may get tired; everyone does, even the young. We may be weary, life does that. But do we focus on remaining steadfast in our commitment to obey God? That, Paul says, produces hope, and those who hope in God will renew their strength.

The true test of our faith is not what we say, not what we feel, but how steadfast we remain. Hope does not disappoint because we serve a God who brings rest to the weary, who restores the downtrodden, and who strengthens the weak.

Our steadfastness also offers an incredible testimony to a watching world that wants everything now.

Prayer

Father, renew us, we are weary. May we remain steadfast, hoping in You. Amen.

Prayer points:
For anyone feeling/fighting against oppression today. I believe with everything that happened in our nation yesterday, the spiritual warfare has increased.

"Oppression is what happens when people grow their own sense of power, comfort, and security at the expense of others. It's the use of violence, coercion, and corruption that makes life easier for some and harder for others."

But our hope is in the Lord.

Psalms 103: 6
The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all who are oppressed.

Thank you Abba, for Your righteous mighty right hand over our nation.

Isaiah 61:1-4
Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings.

Give us the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, and will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Amen
