Hope Renewed

Isaiah 40 – one of my favorite passages:

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

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.

Hoping in the Lord is not only wise, it renews our strength. 

Are you completely spent, today, wondering how you’ll make it until tomorrow?  Put your hope in God.

Are you tired and weary, unable to put one foot in front of the other?  Hope in the Lord and let him lift you up on his wings where you can soar.

Are you about to faint, due to the longevity of the hard times you’ve been experiencing?  Hope in Him and you’ll stay awake, strong, and upright.

You cannot help but be tired and weary when life hits you hard with difficult circumstances.  But the hope that we have in the Lord enables us to rise above those circumstances, see them from above instead of peeking out from underneath, and we WILL soar, run, and walk – in full stride – because when we are weak – he is strong.
