*PROMISED STRENGTH*
by Carrie Anderson
Scripture- Isaiah 40:29-31 "He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." |
Have you ever just felt like throwing your hands up and calling it quits? Were you feeling so weary and weakened from the onstant battles and struggles in life, that you begin to wonder, "What's the point of trying anymore if nothing is ever going to change?" Well, you're not alone, we all experience times in our lives where we feel weak or too weary to go on. Isaiah tells us that God gives strength to those who are weak, because His power and strength never weaken. |
We can call on Him for help in our hour of need. His strength is our source of strength and we can exchange our strength for His. In that exchange we can become renewed. Waiting on the Lord means trusting Him and expecting that His promise of strength will help us rise above life's challenges and difficulties. So when you feel like all of life is crushing you and you cannot go another step, remember you can call upon the Lord to renew your strength. He will enable you to continue to walk and not faint. |
