that the power proceeding from Him

Been trying to learn this lesson for a few months now. Concurrently, bringing the lesson to other brothers to get them to learn it with me. Isa40 always been one of my faves, especially for its famous ending. Not going to focus on the beauty of the ending where it starts at v28 (but go ahead; be my guest and pore over it; you're a free man). Just focus on v31.

Lord lets us in on the secret of gaining strength to soar and not tire and not wear away. Lord instructs us to wait upon Him. Upon Him for His wings and His legs and His strength and His energy. He never calls us to use our own because the outcome on that task is inevitable. He tells us that apart from Him we can do nothing. v31 is the reminder that the call for us to act means for us to use what comes from Him.

For someone with as little patience as I have, it is the most difficult of all commands: Wait.
