Those who hope in the Lord
I just happened to be doing my daily bible reading, and today, I was supposed to read from the book of Isaiah, chapter 40.
The thoughts in my mind prior to reading the verses were something along the lines of "Wow. Long weekend is upon us. Finally. We can take a deep breath from the busyness, stress, tiredness of the week."
I wonder if you all feel the same?Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; (Isa 40:30)
But after reading till verse 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. (Isa 40:31)
Our human strength is finite, but here's a secret to how we can soar on wings like eagles (without drinking red bull =p ) or run and not grow weary. Continue to hope in the Lord (in other translations "wait upon the Lord"). Spending time in His presence during your quiet times being silent before Him and obedient to His commands. For in doing so, will you find renewed strength for life's daily challenges.
This is certainly something I need to be practicing more. cheers!
Gambatte! =]
i've always like this verse :)
