:: isaiah 40:31 ::

all my life i've wondered why isaiah 40:31 says, "they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." (or some versions say "be faint") isn't walking easier than running? why would fainting be a problem if someone is just walking? i guess i'd always considered life simply an option between the two: walking or running. because i had not endured yet. because i did not yet know that walking comes after running, when our strength is gone and we are grateful for just not fainting.
