My name is Scott Marr, and Marrz Ministry, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is named after my wife, Kim, Drew, Olivia, and Madeline’s 16 year old friends and family. Nephew Will Gillepsie, nieces, Katie and Caroline Gillespie, The Land of Canaan, Little Buddy Chambless, Little Buddy Avery, Mercedes, Patterson, Muirhead, McClure, Errico, and the Z represents Zach Alvarez, a young man who lost his life to cancer in 2017. The strength of these people has given me the strength to create Marrz Ministry.
Isaiah 40:31
“But they that wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
This verse is a wonderful illustration of how a person who trusts in God can overcome any obstacle in his or her path.
“Mount up” in verse 31 is a verb. Means to come forth, go up, ascend, climb, go out, rise upWings of eagles describes the speed and strength and courage that will be imparted to the life of the faithful who will find a completion and reward and elation as a result of their waiting. It is not meant to be a literal flight through the air as some believe.Eagles are revered as strong warriors, that also hold a tender side for their young. Eagles were also thought to shed their feathers in a type of rebirth/regeneration to invigorate themselves to a form of their youth. Eagles were also known and revered for their strength and courage in high winds and stormy weather. They had the ability to fly about the prevailing weather patterns and soar over the storm to safety.
"But they that wait upon the Lord…" The word rendered 'wait upon' here denotes properly to wait, in the sense of expecting with hope. The phrase, 'to wait,' means to wait for his help; that is, to trust in him, to put our hope or confidence in him.The phrase is applicable also to all who feel that they are weak, feeble, guilty, and helpless, and who, in view of this, put their trust in God for help, guidance and deliverance.
We can find comfort in the same parallel today by knowing that God can do great and wonderful things when we trust and hope in Him to work things out. Then we must take action and do what He says. When those two truths line up… that’s when miracles happen!
