[00:00:01] Speaker A: I have been standing on the word for him to come home. Even though we haven't been together for 11 years, I have had prophetic words spoken over me that he will come home.
At what point does one say, Lord, what next?
[00:00:18] Speaker B: It's like you've got to surrender it back. It's like you take it, but you don't.
[00:00:22] Speaker C: Like Isaac. Isaac was received, but then he had to give it back up because God is not just trying to give Abraham a son.
God is dealing with things that are unseen in Abraham's heart. God is thinking 4,000 years into the future.
And that's so difficult for us because we are so today, right now, you know.
[00:00:46] Speaker A: Yeah welcome to from the Ruins Podcast, a raw and emotional journey of persevering faith through excruciating suffering.
For 14 years I clung to God through the pain and shame of two unfaithful spouses and two failed marriages until I saw the resurrection life of Jesus Christ triumph over all that death, giving me the grace to love again and eventually even reaching what the Puritans called the pinnacle of faith. Join Lisa and I as we reflect back on the remarkable lessons of a real life walk with God through the valley of the shadow of death by divorce captured as it actually happened.

After publishing Trusting God in the Storm on YouTube on November 27, 2015, tens of thousands of people began contacting me, sharing their own pains and asking their deepest questions about their Christian faith or their divorce struggles. In turn, I would ask the Lord to give me bread from heaven for them and then I hit record thousands of times.
Today's podcast on from the Ruins comes From episode number 114 of the devotional series A Table in the wilderness@relentless heart.com where Lisa and I replied to the following email from from a sister named Sally who wrote the following hello Mike, My name is Sally and I am from South Africa. I have been an avid listener of your messages over the years and am now receiving the daily emails as well, which I love.
I was married for 32 years and met my husband at Bible school in the early 80s. I would have been married 40 years on the 6th of October. I have been standing on the word for him to come home even though we haven't been together for 11 years. Years. There have been false starts and I have Walked in love with him. As I believe in covenant. I have had prophetic words spoken over me that he will come home.
At what point does one say, Lord, what next?
It has been a hard, long journey, but I have only ever wanted the Lord's will and surrender. I was just interested in your viewpoint. Warm blessings, Sally.
First here was Sister Sally's reply to Lisa and I's recording.
Wow, wow, wow. You will never ever know how much this voice recording means to me. Michael and Lisa, through you both, the Lord has touched me. I appreciate your input and wisdom as well as your time so much that only eternity will reveal how much I needed to hear this message today.
May the Lord continue to use you both as you go for from glory to glory and strength to strength. I am honored to have connected with you both. Have a blessed and beautiful day. Love, Sally. October 22, 2024. And now here is our recording to Sally. May God bless you as you listen.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: Hello, Sally.
[00:04:19] Speaker B: Hi, Sally.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
This is Michael and Lisa. We just sat down this morning. We really haven't even, we're kind of late and we haven't even done our, our Bible study time. We've just been reflecting on a few things and happened to open up the email looking for a devotional and there was your message that we read and we started just kind of talking amongst ourselves and I said, you know what, why don't we record our thoughts and share them with her? I, I first said, oh boy, you can certainly identify with this, can't you sweetheart? And she said, yes.
So we'll try to be concise and just share a few of our thoughts about God's mysterious dealings in hopes that it blesses you, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, bless this sister and bless us as we meditate on your ways.
Give us meaning and insight to encourage and feed our hearts and souls that we may live before you obediently, humbly, faithfully, and bring you glory and honor in this life.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
First of all, I want you to know that I can imagine and Lisa can definitely imagine. We both can actually. Well, not imagine.
[00:05:41] Speaker B: I know, right?
[00:05:43] Speaker C: Yeah, and so do I. I was going to say, but we can kind of imagine on some level, albeit not the same length of time invested as you, you know, coming up on a 40 year marriage situation in October. This past October would have been 40 years, I believe you said, so you've certainly got more time invested in it. But we do to a certain extent understand the feeling.
So one of the biggest things that I thought to share with you and then I'll let Lisa share her insights, is one thing I have learned through going through what we have been through with my ex spouse, Persis, and then the long delays in God giving Lisa and I what we believed for, and then her remaining in bondage for actually what, 11 years?
12, basically 10.
I'm trying to figure out where we
[00:06:41] Speaker B: spent them out in 10.
[00:06:43] Speaker C: And then 2021, God told me to
[00:06:46] Speaker B: divorce him in 2016.
[00:06:47] Speaker C: Right. And. But then you still kind of, even when we had our Skype call, you were still kind of waiting. So 2021, 11 years later, you're still believing and you didn't get released from that until 11 years, which is really interesting if you can think about her 11 years as well. So I don't think that's a coincidence. But one of the things that I told her is I said, you know something, Lisa? I said it, maybe it's possible that God has used this man as a placeholder in your life until God is ready to bring the redemption of a new husband in your life. I had said this to her in a message. It was one of my first recordings that I had made to her outside of the ones I had made to you back in India. Okay.
And I remember exactly where I was sitting at the edge of the.
The entrance to the trail before I'd gone on the trail and made you that recording. So anyhow, I made that message to her. And turns out I was right about what I was saying.
It may not apply specifically to your situation, but what I have seen a lot lately, as I've been going back through the 10th anniversary edition of the John 7:17, is that when God gives us an insight, when God gives us a promise, when we think about God answering our prayers, we are almost always thinking in the natural, in the temporal, in the here and now, in the visible.
And God is almost always thinking in the spiritual, in the hereafter, in the eternal. I see this all throughout Scripture and I've mentioned it a few times in this new edition of the Challenge that one of the biggest issues we have with God and understanding him and walking with him, is he's always thinking spiritually eternal. We're always thinking natural, temporary, and there's this gap between us.
So if you look at the situation where I say to Lisa, maybe the Lord is using this man as a placeholder, it turns out again, it was true.
There were quite a number of men that had tried to pursue Lisa. There were Friends that had tried to connect her and push her into getting into relationships.
She would have missed God's very best of him.
And she would have missed God's very best choice in a husband for her had she not been kept in bondage for that time period through this perceived promise that she would receive back her first husband.
Take me out of the picture. The most important part of this is that God kept her in bondage to Himself.
[00:09:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:50] Speaker C: And what I am seeing more and more in my life is in these promises that God has given.
While you are in the process of waiting, you are waiting in bondage to the Lord and you are being kept, set apart and connected to him through this promise, which ultimately the bond comes from faith. So, for example, you receive a promise from God and then you exercise your faith to continue to go to God about that promise. You continue to believe him, you continue to pray to Him. And so now what's happening is, is by this gift of faith, you're now in bondage to the Lord. Now just get outside of yourself for a minute. The Lord prays that they may be in us as we are in them and as we are in each other, that they may be one, as we are in one. Right?
The Scripture speaks of we need to continue to seek Him.
We need to continue to, as Paul said, keep yourselves in the love of God.
We need to continue to be like little children depending upon Him. We need to, Colossians, chapter three, set our mind and hope on things above where Christ Jesus set at the right hand of the throne of God.
We need to realize that our life has been hidden with Christ and will be revealed when he comes. Right? So there's all these scriptures that talk about us being in Him. You know, if my words remain in you, if a man remains in me. Okay, so. So that's how the Father is thinking. His thinking is, I have this child. I have this, this son or daughter.
The Lord's thinking is, I want them in me. I want me in them. I want there to remain, if you, you remain in me. Right? Well, the Lord knows we can't do this apart from Himself. So what does he do?
He exercises his sovereign mercy towards us by giving us promises, things that only he can do. And in the very act of him doing that, he places us, if we have faith, in bondage to him.
And before you know it, you look up and three years of your life has gone by, five years of your life has gone by,. 10 years of your life has gone by. And instead of you being out at the clubs.
Instead of you being out running around with all of your friends, pursuing the worthless, vain pursuits and pleasures of the world, you're sitting at home all alone. Another day of spiritual groundhog Day.
Waiting upon the Lord.
[00:12:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:23] Speaker C: And you don't realize it, but suddenly 3 years has gone by, 5 years has gone by, 11 years has gone by. And you say to yourself, am I wasting my life?
And suddenly it occurs to you, my God in heaven, I'm still here, hoping in him. I still have faith in Him. He still is my all in all, he's kept me from so many other worthless, vain pursuits and pleasures in this life through this promise. Now it looks like a wasted life to my friends, to my family, but to me, I'm still here waiting on him.
And do you see, to me, this is now what I have found.
One of the most amazing ways of God that we don't understand. It looks to us like we're wasting our life.
But God is isolating and insulating.
When you receive a promise from God, it begins to isolate you by faith from all those things that would get in the way of the promise. Foul behavior, unbelief, hanging out with people who don't believe the same, doing things that would contradict the promise. You. You see, receiving a promise from God, it's like it puts you in this container. It puts you on this narrow path of hoping in the promise, thinking of the promise, going to God about the promise. If I may just say, I remember when God used this lady Laura. I thought, lord, what genius of you to have done this. For 40 months to the day, I believed for this woman.
And what nobody could see, what I couldn't even see, is that I was going to the woods every day about this woman. But who was I going to about it? God. God used this promise for a desire of my heart to keep me in total bondage to him.
I learned so much about God because of this promise of this woman named Laura. I spent so much extra time going after him and having faith and praying to him.
[00:14:15] Speaker B: Talk about it being like leverage, eh?
[00:14:17] Speaker C: Yes. I say these promises that God gives us, the hopes that God gives us are leveraged. That's how it. I've described it.
So the final thing I'll say before I allow my sweetie to share a few thoughts is that I don't know when God gives you a promise, if he means indeed he's going to do that thing.
Or has he not made fully known to you yet what the meaning of that promise was. There are times in scripture when it says that the. The meaning of this was hidden from them, right? When he speaks of his own resurrection and being handed over to men. There were times in John 13, 7, you do not understand now what I am doing.
What do you mean, Lord? You're just washing their feet. How could you possibly say they don't understand now? Ah, see, they don't understand. They don't have the spirit yet. It doesn't happen until John 20. This is John 13. They can't see below the surface to the meaning of this, but the time will come when they will, and then they'll understand and they'll say to themselves, ah, now we know what he was doing, right? I think this happens a lot with us. But I'm able to look at these promises that the Lord had allowed me to believe regarding P. They were specifically regarding I would see resurrection. They were that I would not be put to shame. They were that it would be to me according to my faith. He specifically sent me to Isaiah, saying to me that I would no more remember the shame 54, 4 and 5. I would no more longer remember the shame and reproach of my widowhood.
So when I started hearing that I would see resurrection, that I wouldn't be put to shame, that it would be to me according to my faith, you know, and all these things, I started thinking, well, this can only mean person coming back from the dead.
And so I held on to this and held on to this, and no matter what anybody told me, I said, forget it.
See, God had given me promises, but he hid from me the true meaning of what those promises were.
So, Sally, I'm now sitting next to right now the fulfillment of those promises. And I've been sitting next to him for a long time. And Lisa, not realizing it fully until we got some time into our marriage going, oh, God in heaven, this is the resurrection you were talking about. I have been resurrected. My marriage dreams, your marriage purposes have been resurrected in my life. Oh, God, I have been liberated from my reproach, of my, quote, widowhood, both from Carrie and from Persis. Lisa has been used to remove all of that and answer all those prayers. And in the meantime, God was keeping me in bondage by allowing me to believe Persis was coming back and prevented me from being hooked up with any of these other eligible sisters in my inbox, of which there were a lot, because my ministry was about divorce. Thousands of women landed in my inbox.
There were countless potential candidates, single Christian sisters. And so the Lord knew he needed to keep me just like there would have been with Lisa, her being single. And that time there was this situation where one time she had a man that was showing up, sitting outside of her house, and he was the man that all the women in town thought that was the main catch. And he just thought he could have his way. He literally pulled up and sat outside of Lisa's house for a time. So. And then there were, you know, all kinds of other scenarios, but Lisa ignored them because she had this promise. So I kind of went long, but I'm hoping to try to encourage her in some of these things. And then now you want to. What are your thoughts that you've wanted to share?
[00:18:06] Speaker B: Well, Sally mentioned the prophetic words, and I had many of them at the time. At the very beginning, I was going to a charismatic church, and I had friends giving me prophetic words and leaders in the church giving me prophetic words. I had people from Bethel, from overseas fly and speak at our church and pick you out. Pick me out of the crowd and give me prophetic words. And it was all in line with this promise of my husband coming back. And again, God used it. You know, I'm not saying that he didn't. And again, he used it to keep me in bondage, like what Michael was talking about.
And I believe that over that time, too, the Lord was speaking to me personally and was speaking the words restoration and was allowing me to believe that this was the case, that he was going to restore the marriage. But I can see now, like, what Michael was saying is that we can misinterpret what he's saying to us. And I'm not saying that that's the case for you, but, you know, I was thinking that the marriage would be restored, and over those years of us being separated, he would come and go, and it just. It just got worse and worse. And I was like, you know, it doesn't even look like we're close to the marriage being restored. It looks anything but.
And I can see that he restored my relationship with himself, meaning God. You know, like my. My relationship with God was restored, and my idea of family and having a loving husband and being the wife that I wanted to be, that, you know, and my desires, you know, to be a loving wife and to have a loving husband.
I see that that was restored because after a while, I just thought, I can never see myself being married again. I don't think there's anybody out there that I could ever love or that would love me. I just sort of gave up on the idea of love. And that there is such a thing.
So.
But I remember reading a verse, God leading me to a verse, and I cannot remember off the top of my head what it is, because I'm terrible at remembering. But it was about God bringing a Redeemer to our family. Do you know what? That scripture would be sweet.
[00:20:32] Speaker C: He sets the lonely in families. But no, he, oh, kinsman, Redeemer. Like, maybe through the. Through the Book of Ruth, like Boaz.
[00:20:39] Speaker B: Yeah, it was talking. I'm not too sure, but it was talking about Redeemer for your family. And I remember reading that, and I remember that the inner witness sort of testified to that, but I just couldn't really make sense of it. I was like, what's this all about? And now when I look back after God putting Michael and I together, that, oh, my gosh, that's correct. Like with my daughter and I, it's like, when he brought Michael into our life, he's brought healing through my daughter with how she felt towards her father and how she felt towards men after that. You know, she was really injured in that way. And anyway, our ways are not his ways.
And trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. And even though sometimes you feel like you have understanding at the time with what you believe, God has spoken to you, he's mysterious.
And I think I. At the start, I had hope in the promise and not maybe so much hope in God. I just kind of clung to the promise more than I clung to Him. And after a while, I started to let go of the promise and put my hope in Him. And I would end up saying, okay, Lord, because I was a person that would cross off each day of the calendar. And I felt like I was just living for when this promise would come to me pass. And I really felt like I was wasting my life. And like I was waiting for a bus to turn up.
And it was so painful.
It really was. It was excruciatingly painful. And sometimes you just felt like you were going nuts.
But I got to a point where I started to let go. Even though it was a promise God, I believe God had given me. I started to open my hands and let go and say, lord, not my will, but yout will. And I would say, okay, Lord, why, while I'm. Where I'm at, what is your will for me right now? And I got busy doing his will. Like, once I knew what his will was. And his will was for me to continue in my cleaning business, which is not what I wanted to hear.
And I was hoping he had something exciting for me, and he didn't.
He wanted me to learn the truth, to be able to tear down everything that I had been taught in the charismatic churches.
And, you know, through listening to Relentless heart and me relearning obedience and trusting in the Lord and faith and all of that.
[00:23:02] Speaker C: Denying yourself.
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Exactly. And once I was learning that, you know, he said to me, I want you to teach everything that I'm teaching you to your daughter. Raise her up in the Lord.
And I was like, is that all you've got for me, Lord?
But now I look back and I'm just so grateful for what the Lord had me do back then. And even though I felt like it wasn't very significant, it was because now I look at our daughter, who is now about to turn 17, and she is just blowing us away.
[00:23:38] Speaker C: She just gave us the best blessing we could have ever received as a parent.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:23:42] Speaker C: Four days ago, maybe.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: Yes. And it's not just with her, but it's also with her half sister who was.
Was a result of my husband at the time's affair.
And she, even though we were sick,
[00:23:56] Speaker C: who then Lisa loved as her own and helped raise and encourage the relationship between her and Keely. And now the two sisters crave doing Bible study time with each other each week.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: And.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: And the little sister says, oh, please, let's do another Bible study. And, you know, and wants me to baptize her if and when the opportunity ever arises.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: And she's praying to the Lord every day that even though she's in China and that, you know, Christianity is against
[00:24:25] Speaker C: the law, basically, except for if it's out, if it's outside the church, she's
[00:24:30] Speaker B: praying that the Lord will bring some
[00:24:32] Speaker C: kids, Christian friends away.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: And so, you know, that wouldn't have happened if I wasn't in that isolated place waiting for the promise and, you know, being obedient and doing the Lord's will. Will. And it wasn't just my daughter that was affected, but it's also, you know, little.
[00:24:50] Speaker C: And now a young woman, boy, is being impacted by our daughter Keely, where she has taken a friendship. This young man has opened himself up to being corrected because he sees something very different in Keely.
And she's just been spending now, probably the last week organizing on paper all these arguments from scripture to show that Mormonism is a counterfeit. And she's really just like. She's now defending our faith and contacting us almost daily or every other day with updates. And where we once didn't have much in common with her as a teenager because of her interests.
We're now seeing the fruit of Lisa's years of pouring into her and patience. And you start to see this redemption and you stand back and you just go, oh, this is what the Lord had in mind. Yeah, we're only thinking about marriage. We're only thinking about recovering from the divorce and family. But the Lord is always thinking, and
[00:25:51] Speaker B: we're thinking about the now and now. I look back and I can see the bigger picture of what the Lord was doing.
[00:25:57] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:25:57] Speaker B: Even though I didn't understand it at the time. And it's like, oh, wow, I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
So, yeah, that's pretty much all I have to share. But, you know, as long as you are doing the will of the Lord to the best of your ability now, and not just waiting every day for the promise, but getting busy doing what the Lord wants you to do in the next while and holding it loosely, opening up your hands and saying, lord, you will be done, and checking your motives and checking your heart. Because, you know, we are. We can deceive ourselves and correct.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: We can.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: I mean, I did for many years.
[00:26:39] Speaker C: I mean, I think of how I feel like I know the Lord and his ways pretty well, and yet his dealings are so mysterious. He's completely untraceable.
And I'm able to look with humility on those times where I thought for sure I knew what the Lord was doing or what he was going to do. And it turns out there was no way I could have known and he did something so completely different. So what is the lesson in that? So we say, well, then, can we never believe God for a promise? No, that's not true. It's just that you have to add, you know, maybe a little a note that sometimes kids write on their hands to remember things. You know, remember my homework, remember to take out the trash, remember to feed my dog. It's almost like that hand that we have open waiting for a promise, needs to have an ink pen message written into it that says, remember, he is thinking about the hereafter and the spiritual, while we are thinking about the temporal and the natural. And that he is definitely whatever promise he puts into our hand.
[00:27:44] Speaker B: It's like you've got to surrender it back. It's like you take it, but you don't.
[00:27:49] Speaker C: Like Isaac. Isaac was received, but then he had to give it back up. Because God is not just trying to give Abraham a son.
God is dealing with things that are unseen in Abraham's. Heart. God is thinking 4,000 years into the future.
And that's so difficult for us because we are so today, right now, you know.
[00:28:12] Speaker B: Yeah. And we like to kind of see ahead and try and visualize what's going to happen and prepare ourselves for it. But he's so, so mysterious.
[00:28:20] Speaker C: He's very mysterious.
[00:28:21] Speaker B: He may do it in a completely different way than what you expected or do something opposite.
And it's not until you're there and look back and then you. In the meantime, while you're in it, you can't see it and. But it's so it's a matter of trust.
So, yeah, it's holding everything loosely, continuing to trust him, knowing what his will is for you at the time and still being dependent and seeking him, you
[00:28:47] Speaker C: know, daily and knowing that he's using the promise for leverage in your life and the time of waiting for leverage for the conformity of Jesus Christ more and more into your heart, more room for him, less of you. Yeah, that is definitely the agenda of the Lord.
And it's a matter of just knowing that he's getting us through. He's able to keep us, you know, on this path and, and to hold everything down here so loosely.
Father, I just pray. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you will grant Sister Sally the wisdom to respond to this promise that she's holding on to today as you would have her respond, that you would have her just re. Surrender it perhaps to you and really allowing her heart to get to that place where she desires your will above all things.
And Lord, that you would speak to her about it, you would give her insight and you would help her to see that through these 11 years so far, how much good has come out of it. Help her to see how many useful things you've done in her life as a result. How you have kept her so many times and how you've isolated and insulated her from other things that she surely may have missed out out on. Most importantly, that deep trusting dependence and waiting upon the Lord. All they that wait upon the Lord shall never be put to shame.
And we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. As we wait upon you, we glean spiritual treasures and insights and we become increasingly valuable in the kingdom of heaven.
We become increasingly filled with your spirit and your will. Lord, please bless her with more and more fullness in you.
Bless her with good spiritual interpretation of this situation in her life. Let her not remain one day in bondage to a promise that's not from you. Or to a hope that's not from you.
Lord, we thank you that you are the Romans 8:28 God who works all things together for the good to those who love him.
We thank you for that.
Just bless her with faith, patience, knowing that if she's seeking first the kingdom of God and your righteousness, all these other things that are necessary in her life will be given to her, including whether or not it's a husband or not, the return of that husband, or something different.
Oh Lord, keep her in your will, keep her encouraged less and strengthen her to wait. We know a little something about waiting.
Then I thank you for your keeping us in bondage. I thank you that your ways are so much higher than our ways are. Lord, we thank you for dealing with us the way you do. Please bless and protect and strengthen our Lord against Satan and his lies and her flesh and its impatience and its conjecturing and the corruptions that are in our hearts. Lord, so often we can deceive ourselves in ways, so we are at your mercy to show us.
Thank you, my Father, in Jesus name, for a child of God who waits upon you and who continues to place her hope in you.
May you continue to have your way with her as she yields her heart to you and bless her for your glory and her good. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we thank you.
Amen.
God bless you, dear sister.
Bye bye bye.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: Hey, before you go, did you know that Hebrews 3:13 says that we should encourage one another daily as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness?
Did you also know that we have turned all of these spiritual audio messages made for others into a daily devotional called Table in the Wilderness, which you can receive for free in your inbox and each day by
[email protected] here's an example of the devotional from today's recording to Sally, which subscribers would have read in their God's Mysterious Finding Purpose in the Waiting Sister Sally had waited a very long time. The waiting can be agonizing, the yearning for a promised blessing a heavy burden on our hearts.
We cling to the hope, the assurance that God has spoken, but the when remains elusive.
In these seasons of waiting, it's easy to become so fixated on the promise itself that we lose sight of the greater plan God is unfolding in our lives.
God's perspective is eternal, his ways often mysterious.
While we focus on the temporal, the here and now, he is working in the spiritual realm, shaping us into the image of Christ, preparing us for an eternity with Him.
And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
This promise, though often quoted, is not always easy to grasp when we are in the midst of our trials. The waiting, though painful, is not wasted time.
God uses these seasons to keep us in bondage to Himself, to draw us away from the worthless pursuits of the world, and to deepen our dependence on Him. Like a skilled fisherman, he uses the promise as leverage, keeping us on the hook, drawing us closer to his heart.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways. Submit to him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5 6 Surrendering to God's will means releasing our grip on the promise, opening our hands to receive whatever he chooses to give or take away.
It's about saying, not my will, but yours be done.
This surrender, though difficult, is the pathway to true freedom. It's in letting go of our own desires that we discover the immeasurable riches of God's grace and the joy of walking in his perfect will.
If you are in a season of waiting, and if you are clinging to a promise, remember that God is working in the unseen realms of your heart. He is using this time to refine your faith, to deepen your trust, and to prepare you for the blessings he has in store.
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, and they shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40, verse 31 Wait patiently upon him, and you will see his faithfulness unfold.
