In Isaiah 40:31 the Hebrew word for 'wait' is 'quvah' which means twisting or binding, as with twisting strands together in a rope. Have you ever found waiting to feel like you were being twisted or bound? Isaiah is reminding us that waiting on the Lord is a process where we can bind ourselves to God and become stronger, just as many tiny, easily-broken threads are twisted and bound together to form a strong rope.
