Hope

Soar like an eagle

…who against hope believed in hope and hope does not put me to shame.  Therefore, my heart is glad because my trust is in the Lord and I wait on him.  For his promises are true and He is my hope. It is He who renews my strength, for when I am weak then I am strong. Hence, I can run and not be weary, walk and not faint and fly high above the heavens like the eagles that soar.
