- *PROMISED STRENGTH*
- by Carrie Anderson
-
- ***********************************************************************
- Scripture- Isaiah 40:29-31 "He gives power to the weak, and to those
- who have no might He increases strength. Even the youth shall faint
- and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait
- on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings
- like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not
- faint."
-
- Have you ever just felt like throwing your hands up and calling it
- quits? Were you feeling so weary and weakened from the onstant battles
- and struggles in life, that you begin to wonder, "What's the point of
- trying anymore if nothing is ever going to change?"
-
- Well, you're not alone, we all experience times in our lives where we
- feel weak or too weary to go on. Isaiah tells us that God gives
- strength to those who are weak, because His power and strength never
- weaken. We can call on Him for help in our hour of need. His strength
- is our source of strength and we can exchange our strength for His.
- In that exchange we can become renewed.
-
- Waiting on the Lord means trusting Him and expecting that His promise of
- strength will help us rise above life's challenges and difficulties.
-
- So when you feel like all of life is crushing you and you cannot go
- another step, remember you can call upon the Lord to renew your
- strength. He will enable you to continue to walk and not faint.
