A Facebook post quotes Isaiah 40:31 and offers a message of encouragement: “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
The verse appears in the Book of Isaiah, part of the Old Testament and the Hebrew Bible, and is traditionally attributed to the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 40:31 is widely cited across religious traditions and frequently appears in worship services, devotional materials and social media posts as a source of hope and resilience.
Religious leaders and scholars say scriptural passages shared online often serve to comfort individuals during times of stress or transition and to reinforce community values. Social media has become a common venue for believers to express faith, offer encouragement and maintain connections across distances.
The post provides a brief spiritual message but includes no additional context about the author or circumstances. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
