In English, wait feels passive. Like sitting still until something happens. Isaiah 40:31 uses the word qavah. It means to twist together, like strands of a rope. Waiting, in Hebrew thought, is not empty time. It is tension. Staying connected when release hasn’t come. This matters when you’ve waited for years— for clarity, for relief, for things that never fully resolved. Qavah says waiting is not wasting time. It is choosing not to let go. #BibleStudy #HebrewWord #WaitingOnGod #Endurance #ChristianHope
