Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon 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"
What an encouragement to seek the Lord this scripture is. Tonight I'm feeling weary, battered and have got emotional about the experiences of the last 10 years since I was first diagnosed with a life destroying illness. I took my eyes of the Lord and allowed the past to take over my mind for a while before i caught myself and asked for a scripture from Father to catch me back into focus. This one came immediately. We are promised that we SHALL renew our strength. We will SOAR with wings as eagles do and that as we carry on with the race we will NOT be either weary or faint. It's a promise that makes my heart leap. And I'm here, focused on the future aware that it's in HIS strength I can move and exist. I'll wait on the Lord for the renewal.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank you for your promises laid out in Your word. Thank you for the guidebook to live through You and in You that is the Bible. Thank you that you show us how to be effective and what to do when we get weary and distracted by our own frailty and past. Let us fix our eyes upon Jesus and await His presence and the renewal of our strength. In Jesus name, Amen.
