“But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.” - Isaiah 40:31

One of our favorite things to do when launching a new product with a new verse design is to unpack the meaning behind it. We want you to understand and dive deep into this verse. To truly grasp the context and concept behind it.
This verse is a popular one. Used in songs, writings, and referenced often at funerals. At least that’s where I first heard this passage when I was younger! But it has always stayed with me as a verse with deep meaning. One people grasp onto in times of trouble; it’s that and so much more.
This is what we wrote in our item description:
We all become tired or weary at times. Life is a blessing and can be glorious, but life can also be dark and dreary. And it’s those times that God reassures us with this verse. Trust in the Lord for His provision for His power and strength never diminish. In fact he promises us that we will “soar on.” We will be gently lifted above our weary troubles when we rest in Him. His strength will lift us above all else. He will renew our soul. He will carry us to move forward, to run the race of life. Because he is our true source.
Our prayer as you wear this tee is to be reminded to rely on His power and strength that never ends and to soar on. Soar on Him to get past today’s troubles and into tomorrow’s hope.

When researching this verse I read this commentators take on this verse and I thought it was great and wanted to share it:
“Notice the order, because it seems strange. First we mount up with wings like eagles. Then we run. Finally we walk. Does it seem out of order? Not at all. First, we recognize that we soar up into heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). Then we set ourselves on the course to run the race (Hebrews 12:1). Then we are in the good place to walk the walk (Colossians 2:6).”
I loved how he connected the old and new testament together. The Bible is one gigantic theme with little mini themes interwoven into it. And here we see three connected together in the provision and grace of God. He also points out as we often see that God’s ways are different - maybe even “strange". And that’s faith. That’s God’s ways vs the world’s ways. A trust in the Lord and when the trust and faith takes root, a strength will soar. We might still feel the weight, feel the hurt, but he will lift us up on Eagles wings taking us into a place of peace and renewed strength in Him.

One last thing to share, and I’m thinking it will have to be another mini devotion later on to research so feel free to share all your knowledge with me. Why an Eagle? This isn’t the only time the Bible references an Eagle. I found a quick snippet from a secular website but it rings true when we read it through the eyes of something truly sacred.
“The eagle is the chief over all the winged creatures. The Eagle conveys the powers and messages of the spirit; it is man’s connection to the divine because if flies higher than any other bird… If the eagle has appeared, it bestows freedom and courage to look ahead.”
May the Lord life you up on Eagles Wings and bring you to a place of renewed strength. A place of freedom and courage. I place of peace to rest in His might strength.
