It is a power that is not your own, a power that comes from no earthly source, a supernatural power, power from on high which the prophet is here offering.(F. EXODUS XV. When the determination of the will is not only fixed but strong, then the soul is in a vigorous state. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain. Hast thou less conscious nearness to the mercy-seat,--diminished communion with thy Saviour? The Church is a very powerful instrument, and will be indispensable through ages. The order, then, may be the correct one, after all not so good as a rhetorical finish, but true to life. L. Wiseman, B. A.We are constantly being exhorted to-day by good and earnest men to set a high ideal before us. This is that which does for the most part extend itself to the outside and form of religion. It is well to rise up on wings of eagles, but now and then we must come to the level of our fellow-creatures, and in their service we are to run and not be weary. Hast thou less conscious nearness to the mercy-seat,--diminished communion with thy Saviour? When you go into your closet for your morning devotions, do not, as is very often done, read the Bible and think about it and pray about it, and then get up and go. There is no weariness in love.(D. Our whole future is mapped out with tests and trials, but we need not be afraid of these things if we are in the stream of the Divine supply. The man lies down on his bed, and "waits." F. W. H.

When love to God is ardent and constant in its exercise, then there is real strength. But it is possible to rise by another kind of power. Not so; for the religion of the Bible is this: mounting up with wings of eagles, running and not wearying, walking and not fainting. Those who have not eagle's wings still have some power of motion, they can run on the earth and in the path of God's commandments. This seems to say that the life of communion with God is not a long series of vapid and unemotional hours, a dead level of mechanical and spiritless employments, but a life that has rare and glorious experiences, holy aspirations, ennobling thoughts, ecstatic emotions, spirit-stirring hopes.1. Halsey. (3) But as only few can fly and only some can run, there are still some who can only walk. To one who thus heroically soars towards God and His light, the things of time and earth seem trivial and contemptible. Doubt seems so impossible, and elements of character are forming then that we should be poor indeed without in future time. Because they are imperfect.3. But all forms of waiting on the Lord involve the personal, conscious, voluntary act of the mind or soul within us, for which no mere ceremony or ritual can be a substitute. Tucker, B. A.I.

If we trust and obey, obey and trust, we rise into a purer atmosphere, and have a clearer vision we live in the very presence of God. It is a grand thing that there is one time in our lives when we have wings. The "walking" is the most important part after all. THE PROMISE. Evidently the prophet uses it as representing an act of devotion, looking to God for help in the time of need. A. "I can do all things," said Paul, "through Christ which strengtheneth me." H. Anderson.I. But without God, without true hope.(W. But running is harder than flying. In point of ease. That is a very lame finish. Howells.

Greed, unrighteousness, sensuality, may appear to be more stable than granite. V. Tymms.As we look back on history we can see positive evidence that the promise of this text was historically fulfilled, and in the eases of the men to whom the message came first. Yet the power of thus rising on eagle's wings is not the only quality to be noticed in this symbolism. Waiting upon the Lord. To speak of a man as able to strengthen himself, so as to dispense with Divine aid, is as unreasonable as it is unscriptural As well might you talk of a leafless tree clothing itself with verdure without the vernal sun as well of an enfeebled body recovering tone and energy without the reviving air of heaven. Even when He hides His face (Isaiah 8:17). But, for the most part, these exhaustive pleasures rapidly fret away that on which they depend. The order, then, may be the correct one, after all not so good as a rhetorical finish, but true to life. We renew our strength in the battle with our besetting sin, in the conquest of fierce passions and unruly tempers, and in the maintenance and steadfastness of high resolve. Horton, D. D."Change their strength" (marg.). 1The Withering Work of the SpiritTHE passage in Isaiah which I have just read in your hearing may be used as a very eloquent description of our mortality, and if a sermon should be preached from it upon the frailty of human nature, the brevity of life, and the certainty of death, no one could dispute the appropriateness of the text. We rejoice in the earliest flower because it is the earliest, and we rejoice in the latest flower because it is the latest; but do what you will, you cannot make the aster blossom in spring. How shall we avoid it? It was the experience of its necessity and efficacy that made Luther what he was, and G. All Sermons Bible Studies Devotionals Prayers. (Job Orton. When we have done flying, we go on running. There is no mention here of the use of many words, or of certain external marks of devotion; it is simply, "Waiting upon the Lord!" Watch it a bit and down it comes again; the power has spent itself. The young man who never overdid himself and felt utterly exhausted through some strenuous exertion in a great contest will never do much in the world he is not worth much- Not the tame, slow idlers, but the forceful men, the men who rejoice in their strength and to use their strength, the men who would rather drop than give in while another yard can be run, or another step be made, or another blow be struck for victory these are the men who will assuredly be carried on in the great enterprise until they are weary, and when weary will be carried on by their indomitable spirit, while others are seeking rest, until at last they reel and stagger and collapse. But the period comes when these youthful impulsions give place to the more restrained and disciplined energies of life, like those of the runner who has trained himself to maintain his pace, and to maintain it by not exceeding it. THE RENEWAL OF STRENGTH IS TO BE OBTAINED BY WAITING UPON THE LORD.1. But, further. T he general style of the prophecies is poetical. The young man who never overdid himself and felt utterly exhausted through some strenuous exertion in a great contest will never do much in the world he is not worth much- Not the tame, slow idlers, but the forceful men, the men who rejoice in their strength and to use their strength, the men who would rather drop than give in while another yard can be run, or another step be made, or another blow be struck for victory these are the men who will assuredly be carried on in the great enterprise until they are weary, and when weary will be carried on by their indomitable spirit, while others are seeking rest, until at last they reel and stagger and collapse. Horton, D. D.is amplified by a resemblance to a threefold motion.1. There are two wings in our spiritual ascent faith and obedience. Zeal fills the soul with courage to encounter enemies and surmount obstacles.II. A. Beneath that bright beam the moisture that encumbered it is exhaled; its bent stalk raises itself again, its shrivelled petals expand into beauty, and it diffuses around a cheering fragrance in gratitude to the power that has renewed its strength. The strength of wit, and reason, and understanding, and memory, and the like, while their heart and will and affections have no saving work at all upon them. Halsey.But, you say, if this progression of ideas is a true climax, flying, running, walking why stay there? Sweet childhood of eternal life! Yet I venture to question whether such a discourse would strike the central teaching of the prophet. L. Wiseman, B. A.But it is said the prophet gives us the natural order. If we are not of the eagle type and have but feeble aspirations; if we are not of the active, zealous type and cannot run, we may yet be able to walk, to move as fast as our poor, weak, or crippled limbs carry us, and if we do not wish to faint by the way we shall surely wait on the Lord. It was as he pursued the ordinary routine of his ministry along the common ways, with the humbling "thorn" ever rankling in his flesh, that he felt the need of and received special succour. They shall have a new kind of strength bestowed upon them, over what they had before conversion, as Caleb had another spirit, and Saul another heart. Faith and hope and love itself, so dewy fresh in the morning, spend themselves in noonday's scorching heat, and run low at eventide. They wait on God, asking counsel, seeking strength, and imploring pardon and peace. So a heaven-bound soul flies in company with God.(T. The machinery of the steamship, the locomotive, or the factory may be perfect in itself, its parts exquisitely adjusted, and all ready for action; yet it is inoperative until the steam is generated and applied. But there is one doctrine that is never out of season, Hugh BinningThe Works of the Rev. --ISAIAH xl. xl. Yet, further, there is a waiting on the Lord which is neither prayer nor praise, but silent and serene contemplation, when the mind muses upon His wondrous works and ponders over the stupendous fact that the infinite and eternal God can and will and does come near to the soul of His finite and imperfect creature man, and permits the ineffable solace and privilege of communion with Himself.3. I felt an ardency of soul to be what I know not otherwise how to express, emptied and annihilated; to love Edward M. BoundsThe Essentials of PrayerThe God of all Comfort"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." Even "as the stream of brooks they pass away." )Standing stillJ. It is very easy to misunderstand this word "wait," and regard it as meaning inactive passivity. Elevation, rapid progress, a steady course soar, run, walk. In so far as the spiritual life is one, it is a life in God. Alexander MaclarenExpositions of Holy ScriptureThe Secret of Immortal Youth'Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. THE HOPES THAT ARE BASED ON FAITH GIVE STRENGTH TO LIVE FOR GOD. But whatever is done for right is done for God and endures eternally.3. xl. It is a crown (1 Corinthians 9:25).

Man goeth forth to his work and to his labour until the evening. Its faith is romantic, the thrill of its devotion is exquisite. We like a little bit of excitement or emotion. Tucker, B. A correspondence between our will and affections and the truth existing in our minds.3. "(5) The only other ingredient of spiritual strength is zeal, zeal according to knowledge. There must be stillness of soul, dependence, expectation.III. Let me translate that last word again, translate it by a word that is about as wide in its English significance as the word used by the prophet in his own time, "They shall mount up, they shall run, they shall go." Let us rejoice in the Lord evermore, and again we say, rejoice. You must get deeper and deeper yet, and when you touch the Rock the pillars of the earth you will come to the fact that under all there is the eternal blessedness. The men who led the remnant back were God-fearing men like Ezra and Zerubbabel, men who waited on God. In untiring activity in the direct service of God. The stores of Divine grace provided for him are inexhaustible, and the communications of this grace imparted to him are most suitably proportioned to his need of them (Philippians 4:19).(D.

If we are not of the eagle type and have but feeble aspirations; if we are not of the active, zealous type and cannot run, we may yet be able to walk, to move as fast as our poor, weak, or crippled limbs carry us, and if we do not wish to faint by the way we shall surely wait on the Lord. Home-Life--Preparing for his Life-Work--The Vow of Separation--A Child of the Desert Zacharias and Elisabeth had probably almost ceased to pray for a child, or to urge the matter. What, then, is meant by this "waiting upon the Lord"? The men who were making themselves rich in those days in Eastern cities stayed there. Thank God for the flying stage while it lasts, for we do get visions in those flights that abide with us long after our wings have dropped off, and we have learned that the ether is not our element; visions whose memory helps to cheer us as hereafter we trudge along the monotonous and dusty ways of life's hard routine. A. Finlayson. The prophet is not speaking of three rates of motion, but he is rather speaking of the active motion and then onward continuance. Greed, unrighteousness, sensuality, may appear to be more stable than granite. And God, in His omnipotence and faithfulness, is willing to work in my heart every moment of the day.2. We are shown the infinite powers that He concealed in the heart of a solitary man of faith. It is possible for the best of men to lose much of the influence of religion from the heart, and for a time to be very unconscious of it.2. It is painful to be in that condition in which we feel that we can, and yet cannot; that we have faculty, yet lack inspiration; that we have wings of heavenward desire, with but little power to use them. B. Meyer, B. II. While Charles Haddon SpurgeonSpurgeon's Sermons Volume 4: 18588Th Day. The quotation of Is. Horton, D. D.)Strength for strengthT. Jones. A. "I can do all things," said Paul, "through Christ which strengtheneth me." It is like a river or a stream always passing away, and yet the power is always present; the power moving the mill-wheel, not by jerks, but by a continuous stream, always passing away, and yet ever flowing in; one measure of strength succeeding that which has been expended. M. Donaldson, D. D.No man is as strong as he desires to be. V. B. Meyer, B. )Standing stillJ. The whole point is there. Who, of all men who ever lived upon the earth, was the One who had the sorrow of the world nearest to His heart? Spasmodic efforts are dangerous. This sounds as if they were in danger of becoming weary and faint in their minds. The Christian makes a hopeful start in his course of service when he clearly realises the spiritual security of his own position.2. The highest point in his destiny is to be conformed to the image of the Son of God. What has he to trust in for the continuance of the hope that these desires shall be gratified? With a stronger stroke than the eagle's wing will he be able to beat the air and penetrate to the third heaven; he will run before the chariot of the king and get to the city sooner than the fleetest horses of which even the king of Israel can boast; like Asahell he shall be lissom of limb and light of foot; and when far in the trackless desert even the endurance of the camel gives out, shall the man of God hold on his way. What did your man of the natural order stop running for? I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be. It is precisely because he is not tired that the man of God does not stop. --ISAIAH xl.

Learn to come into blessed fellowship with God. The spiritual is so real. If a number of ships of war were sent out to sea, and were ready to start at any moment, and if the question were asked, what are they waiting for?, the answer would likely be one of two things: either that they were waiting for supplies, or waiting for orders.

THE HAPPY RESULT OF THIS RENEWAL OF STRENGTH.(J. "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father." (b)But a little time, and much time lost already. If vanity share the sacrifice, or irreverence desecrate it, God will turn away our prayers and His mercy from us: our service will be an abomination unto Him. In short, to wait upon God is to be a religious man. The whole soul gets strength by such exercise.II. As bodily health is only found in a well-balanced and healthy state of the corporeal functions, so spiritual strength can only be found in souls into which new life has been infused, and is in vigorous exercise.

"Wilt thou not revive us, O Lord?" Booth by faith has changed the drunkard and the sensualist into saints. He has powers adapted to this exercise powers with which he can glorify his Maker; and he must not point those eagle faculties to the dust, but let them take wing and rise.

Ward Beecher.What are some of the methods by which men, in the Divine economy, advance in spiritual impulse, and rise permanently higher?1. Good Christians shall through God's grace grow stronger and stronger. This sense of the word gives us another part of the character of those that wait upon the Lord. The highest point in his destiny is to be conformed to the image of the Son of God. But I believe that the preaching of the high ideal, divorced from the preaching of its attainment by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ, is the reason for more than one-half the cynicism that you find amongst men from thirty-five to forty at the present day. To those who live in this spirit is given AN EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISE. He stopped running because he was tired. H. Anderson.I.

When the earth is parched with the heat of summer, and its productions begin to languish from excessive drought, it is watered and refreshed by the showers of heaven, and its various plants and fruits not only resume their former health and vigour, but spring up and flourish with greater luxuriance than before.
