"Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary." -Isaiah 40:30-31 (NASB)
Several weeks ago I was sitting on the couch one evening and was fighting to stay awake. I knew I hadn't been exercising regularly and my eating habits weren't the best. I decided to take advantage of an opportunity offered by a friend to join a fitness group to help change my bad habits and I have been pleased with the results!
In our spiritual lives, we need support, too. We can grow tired on our own. Our motivation and resolve can fade as we run into challenges. Just as many resolve to exercise more and eat better in the new year, we need to resolve to wait on the Lord. With God's power, He can renew us and strengthen our souls. He can fortify our resolve to help us resist the devil's temptations and to move through the new year without growing tired. We can mount up with wings like eagles and run without tiring because God is on our side!
Call on God to renew your strength and to sustain you throughout the new year!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the strength and wisdom that You provide for me. Help me to always call on You and to trust in Your wisdom and power. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
