"Those who wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength,
They shall mount up on wings as eagles
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint!"
Known as the "Eagle Verse," only God knows how many times these powerful, life-affirming words from Isaiah 40:31 have been referenced in human history to lift and encourage the soul of a depressed or discouraged person. This is one of many places in the Bible where God concentrates profound and positive spiritual truths within a relatively short grouping of words.
Another spiritually concentrated Bible verse is the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). Starting July 25th and four consecutive weekends, Pastor Sheila Schuller Coleman will delve into Jesus' "model prayer" during her new Hour of Power message series, "Spiritual Sustainability: Living the Lord's Prayer." As does the "Eagle Verse," this important scripture lifts your spirit. And this message series promises to lift your prayer life, as well, as each prayer phrase takes your spiritual experience to increasingly higher levels—helping you to see your relationship with God from an entirely new and exciting vantage point.
