Isaiah 40:30-31
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.“
Isaiah 40:30-31 NIV
What is your strength? Is it your youth? Your conditioning? Your wisdom? Your friends? Your experience? None of us can depend upon our human ability.
Health, wisdom, and wealth are all vulnerabe to the fragility of life and circumstance. Only the Lord can ensure that we can survive the unthinkable, thrive in the mundane, and soar in good times. Let's call upon, let's wait upon, let's depend upon the Lord!
If we lean upon the Lord, He will renew our strength. We can spread our wings and soar high as eagles do. There are times we can feel weary and faint. God strengthens us with His power. He renews us. We don't have to let our circumstances or the chaos in our country or the world overwhelm us and keep us down, unable to see beyond it. If we look up to God, committing our ways to Him and giving over our cares, we can rise up and soar above all our circumstances.
We will be able to run and not be weary, and to walk and not faint or become tired. If you are feeling exhausted and weary and in need of an energy boost, give it over to God and continue to give it over moment by moment. If we rise up and soar as eagles do, our circumstances won't overwhelm us.
When we are weary from the struggles of life and finding it hard to keep going, we can turn to God and ask Him for renewal and strength. Our great God gloriously provides power to those who pursue His presence and fully rely on Him.
As we patiently rest in His care with expectation, He brings His healing and hope to help us to take flight and finish with fresh enthusiasm and energy.
Are you flapping your wings in your own energy right now? Are you weary from struggling to solve your problems with your own strength? Slow down and spend time with the God who is more powerful than your problems. Ask Him to fill you with a renewed hope. Trust that He is at work, and He knows the way. It is inevitable that on occasion we will feel the weariness of life weighing us down.
If you find yourself in that place today, ask the Lord to renew your spiritual strength. Whatever stands in our path, God can give us the strength to face it and rise above it. When we truly identify with our Saviour and trust in Christ's capacities alone for our journey through life, it is then that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness; it is then that the wind of God will lift us up on eagles' wings and carry us through life's stresses and strains, in the power of His Holy Spirit.
It is when the man or woman of God is prepared to admit their weakness that they are enabled by Him to draw from the bottomless well of His everlasting supply, and drink deeply from the living waters of God's super-abundant provision. It is then that our spiritual battery is regenerated and renewed by Christ's limitless power. This will enable us to run the race, and with His strength, to run in such a way as to win the prize for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!!!
Father, thank You for this day and the breath of life that is in Your Word. Lord, open the floodgates of heaven and rain down Your abundant blessings upon my friend and family today. Lord, we know that our strength can only be found in You. Lord, help us to trust implicitly in the power that we can only receive from You. We pray that we may truly rise above all the difficulties of life and run with patient endurance the race that is set before us looking unto You, Who is our only source of strength and our only means of refreshment. Lord , use my friend to be the salt and light of Your Word to help others find their way to You.
Father, we love You. Amen !
