He Renews Our Strength

"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."

- Isaiah 40:31

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel completely worn out. Life is hectic, and I often feel like I'm racing to keep up with it. Sleep doesn't come easily, because my mind is always running through all the things I have to do the next day.

That is NOT the way God designed us to live.

He wants us to TRUST Him, and He will give us STRENGTH. Isn't that encouraging?

There's a song that I've been listening to recently, and I think it really sums up what I'm trying to say here:

In the Morning by Steve Bell

In the morning
When the dew lies on the ground
And your glory’s all around
In the morning
When the sun is on the rise
And your splendour fills the skies

I look to You in the morning
To be my strength for this day
I look to You in the morning
To be my strength for this day
In the evening
When the day is almost done
And we watch the setting sun

In the evening
As we put our work to rest
Noting all that you have blessed
I look to You in the evening
And give You thanks for this day
I look to You in the evening
And give You thanks for this day

I've started waking up each morning with a prayer that God would give me the strength I need to do His will that day. If we TRUST Him, He will give us STRENGTH. We will NOT grow weary or faint.

Now that's a promise I'm going to hold on to.
