The Glory of God's Grace, Part 11.

Jul 22, 2026    James Ramieri

Have you ever wondered if you truly have the strength to fulfill God's plan for your life?


Most believers would say they believe God has a plan. Many would also say He wants them to know that plan. But there is a third question that often determines whether we live in victory or defeat:

Do we really believe God has the power to enable us to accomplish His plan?


In this message from our Glory of God's Grace series, we study one of the most encouraging promises in Scripture—Isaiah 40:31. Discover what it truly means to "wait upon the Lord," why waiting is not passive but an active expression of faith, and how God exchanges our weakness for His strength.


Together we'll explore:

Why believers often struggle to trust God's power during adversity.

The rich meaning of the Hebrew word qavah ("to wait with confident expectation").

How impatience can cause us to miss God's divine provision.

Why God often brings us to the end of our own strength before displaying His own.

The biblical connection between Isaiah 40, the Faith-Rest Drill, and New Testament truths found in John 15, Philippians 4, Ephesians 6, and 2 Corinthians 12.


God never intended the Christian life to be lived in human strength. His grace supplies everything needed to fulfill His predesigned plan for every believer.


If you're weary, discouraged, or wondering whether God has forgotten you, this message is a reminder that the God who called you is also the God who will sustain you.


"But those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength..." — Isaiah 40:31
