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 40:31) God is the source of strength, power, and refreshment. They all come from our relationship with Him. He restores our energy. He gives us the power to overcome and to grow. He gives us peace of mind so that we are truly rested. He helps us to recover our strength. He enables us to live confident, hope-filled lives. He gives us good health and sound minds. "The Lord gives His beloved sleep." He gives us strength-restoring sleep. All of these things are gifts of grace from time well-spent in fellowship with Him, developing the relationship with Him and communicating with Him in Bible study and prayer. Where God has began the work of grace, He will perfect it. He will help those who, in humble dependence on him, to help themselves. Hence we need to wait each day in His presence to draw our strength. The more we are dependent on Him the more we will mount up as eagles with power and grace. He promised us we shall not grow weary and will not faint in the day of adversity. The word of God declares in Isaiah 30:18 "But the LORD still waits for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for him to help them.” When we wait on Him we shall not be ashamed. So let us ask the Lord to help us to have patience to wait on Him. If you will hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God today, and come to Him as you are, He will refresh you and strengthen you and will give you His grace for each day! Have a blessed day!
