Bible Verse
“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” – Isaiah 40:31
Meaning
This Bible verse from Isaiah emboldens us to courageously press on even when faced with adversities. The key to endurance lies not in our own strength, but in placing our hope in the Lord.

Running without growing weary and walking without fainting signifies a spiritual stamina that comes only from an unwavering faith in God.
Perseverance, therefore, isn’t just about survival but growing stronger and more faithful in our walk with God. Through Him, we can overcome any challenge or hardship on the horizon.
