Isaiah 40: 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 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.
One of the most encouraging set of verses in the Bible tells us that God is the source of strength to meet all of our needs and He restores us!
As we enter into a saving relationship with Jesus, never think that the saving part is just for the overall salvation of the soul. It is also about saving us in our time of trouble or need. God so desperately wants His children to be in the Kingdom with Him that He does not limit His attention to just getting us there; He opens it up to every aspect of our life! Praise God He is watching after us every day in every way and is there to renew us!!
Another factor to not miss in this is He grants us strength not only for our trials and rough patches in our life, He also gives us power to obey him as well. It also means that He will give you and I the endurance and ability to maintain and grow our relationship with Him daily. This verse also tells us that He will give us the strength to find the time each day to meet with Him quietly and talk.
Yes, it is awesome to know that when we are tired and weary from our struggles on this earth that we have a God that is there to turn to, lifts us up and carries us through while renewing us!! AMEN! To me though, it is just as powerful a verse when I apply this promise to conquering sin in my life, needing to find more time in my day to be with God or asking God to reveal and fill my deficiencies in myself; making me whole. I don't know about you, but for me it can be a wearying battle dealing with satan everyday. That power in Christ from the Father is there for all of us each and every moment of the day!
No matter your need, situation, struggle or deficiencies, the mighty renewing power of God is here today for all of us. Call upon Him and He will answer. Cry out to Him in your anguish and exhaustion of your day and He will renew you. Admit there is something you need to change or have victory over, give it to Him and His promise is: YOU WILL HAVE VICTORY! You don't have to overcome by your own strength; besides, you can't.
As you go through this day, do not feel that God is not in touch with you and your circumstances, because He is. Maybe the gap you are feeling is because you have not come fully to Him and rest in His arms of renewal and strength, (please note that the key word in this statement is- FULLY, i.e. completely).
God is the God of power, victory and renewal for all of us; you don't have to be strong on your own anymore!!!
Remember, God's Got This!!!
