Get the appBigger Than UsSample
We all reach moments when our strength runs out—when the waiting feels too long, the answers too far, and the weight too heavy. Isaiah reminds us that hope in the Lord isn’t passive waiting; it’s an active, trusting expectation that God will move, sustain, and renew. The word renew here literally means “to exchange.” It’s not just getting our energy back—it’s trading our weakness for God’s strength. When we depend on Him, He gives us what we can’t give ourselves.
Isaiah painted three pictures: soaring, running, and walking. Soaring represents those mountaintop moments when God lifts us above our circumstances. Running represents seasons of purpose and passion when we’re fueled by His power. Walking represents the steady, daily faith that keeps us moving forward when life feels ordinary or hard.
Wherever you are—soaring, running, or just putting one foot in front of the other—God promises to meet you there and renew your strength.
What area of your life feels weary right now? What does it mean for you to “hope in the LORD” (Isaiah 40:31) today?

About this Plan
The real challenge in life is not how well we start but how we stay faithful over time. In this devotional, we will journey with God’s people as they move from brokenness to renewal. We’ll meet a God who uses personal burdens, teamwork, perseverance through opposition, His Word, and lifelong faithfulness to accomplish His purposes. When the opposition feels too strong, there’s a bigger God who meets us in the middle of it all—a God who works in and through ordinary people.
