Strength for the day!
Isaiah 40:29-31 (NASB)
29 He (God) gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might
He increases power.
30 Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
31 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.
+++++++++++++++++
Circumstances often seem to get us down! That is when we need to pause and seek God's strength and WAIT on Him. But waiting is not necessarily passive. Verse 31 is an illustration of what I call "Plodding". Note, when we wait on the LORD we will (1) mount up (soar) like eagles, (2) run, (3) walk. Sometimes that might mean just continuing in routine. Doing what is in front of you, and God will give you strength for the day and reveal new directions in His timing.
So whatever is happening in your life today, plod on and wait on the LORD! He will direct and strengthen you!
