This is your scripture for today, may it empower you. Please share widely and make someone's day.
“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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.”
Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV
How then does one wait upon the Lord to have strength renewed so that you fly as an eagle, run and then walk and repeat the cycle? Notice the scripture here does not say they that wait for the Lord or wait with the Lord- it says wait upon- this speaks of active waiting- this waiting includes meditation upon His word, talking to Him in prayer, giving praise and worship, asking Him questions, seeking His will for particular situations you will be facing, declaring to Him that you have set yourself apart to accomplish His purpose and His will. It also includes confessing your mistakes to Him and repenting from wrong actions and ways of thinking that are not aligned with His word.
At the end of this process God will breathe into you a renewed vigour, focus and purpose, a new energy and a new dimension of wisdom. With this will also come a new assurance that you are on course to accomplish His purpose and His will in your life, family, community and Planet Earth.
Remember to always allow God to use you to impact others around you and beyond even in ways which sometimes may appear little to you.
Point of reflection:
Acknowledge the sacrifice that the Lord Jesus Christ made for you when He died and rose again and how this sacrifice cleanses you from all sin and sets you apart for the purposes of Almighty God.
Acknowledge that God does not grow weary and that He knows it all.
Take a step back, give thanks for the things He has done for you.
Proceed to steps outlined above.
