Isaiah 40:30-31 “Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”
Hope in the context of Isaiah 40:30-31 is the word Qavah. Strong’s #6960. Binding together, eagerly waiting for, hoping for, looking for, expecting.
Give your problem, your weakness to Yeshua. Only He can renew your strength. There is hope. Remember His word. As you read the scriptures, remembering, you will see His consistent covenantal faithfulness and that will give you hope for your future.
2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”
Read Hebrews 6:13-19. The certainty of God’s promise. May verse 18 and 19 also encourage you today. “God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us, may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”

- Prophetic images of hope : Pictures of Messiah in Chukat June 23, 2026Parashat Chukat, Numbers 19:1-22:1, contains some of the most mysterious passages in the Torah : The accounts of the water from the Rock, the Red Heifer and the bronze Serpent beautifully bridge the Torah and the Good News, showing that even in the wilderness YHVH was already revealing His plan of redemption through Messiah […]
- Korach : The Subtle Seed of Rebellion June 14, 2026Parashat Korach (Numbers 16-18) is far more than the story of a man who challenged Moses.

- The Tongue: From Fire to Restoration May 31, 2026Last week, in Nosa (Numbers 4:21-7:89), we discussed the priestly blessing as a model of restoration, where people are lifted up and blessed.
