Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 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.
and young men stumble and fall;
31 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.
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 vulnerable
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!
Thought for today:
Do I know what it means to wait upon the Lord?
