Renewed Strength

The Hebrew word here is קָוָה — qavah. It does not mean passive waiting. It means to bind together, to stretch toward, to hold tension like a cord pulled taut. Those who wait in this way are not sitting still. They are leaning into something unseen with everything they have. The eagle does not flap frantically to rise. It finds the current and opens its wings. That is the posture this verse is asking for.
