Isaiah 40:31. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
That is very much when they begin. They are all for flying; and God gives them a glorious flight, land they are so happy and so delighted. But they will do better than that.
Isaiah 40:31. They shall run, and not be weary;
Is that better than flying? Yes it is - a better pace to keep up, but God enables his servants at length to keep along the road of duty and to run in it. But there is a better pace than that.
Isaiah 40:31. And they shall walk, and not faint.
It is a good, steady pace. It is the pace that Enoch kept when he walked with God. Sometimes it is easier to take a running spurt than it is to keep on day by day walk, walk, walk, in the sobriety of Christian conversation.
Many under excitement can run a race, but it is the best of all to be able steadily to walk on, walking with God the Lord. The lord bring us to that pace. "They shall walk and not faint."
This exposition consisted of readings from Isaiah 40:1-17; Isaiah 25-31. John 1:29-42.
