Wednesday the 1st

Isaiah 40: 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.

 

The Strength is there for those who hope in the Lord. We all know a few of these people, they seem to have limitless amounts of energy, they are in to everything. The kids activities, their work, their church. They seem to be everywhere you are, and have just come from somewhere you wanted to be but could not make it. They run on an out of this world schedule, because they run on an energy that is out of this world. When I talk to these people they talk of their faith, not in a condescending, I have it and you don’t way, but with the attitude of how could anyone want to live any other way? We talk a lot about time management, we talk of sectioning off parts of our day so we can accomplish our tasks, but if we want this supercharged life, if we want to soar on wings like eagles, then we have to manages the most important part of our day, we have to quit thinking of the Lord like a time block that needs to be tended to then checked off the list. Trusting in the Lord means that we realize that the Lord is the time block that we fit all others into. He is the schedule that we build our life around. To borrow a line from Spurgeon, everything we see, do, and touch, should be tinged with the color of God. Trusting in the Lord is not something that is done in the first 15 min of the day, it is a way of life. The Lord will not carry you, He will give you wings to soar, He will not allow you to run a mile down the road, He will give you the strength to run all day. While others struggle to find the strength to put one foot in front of the other, you will find that you are walking with no need to slow your pace. Trust in the Lord. Immerse yourself in His love, flood your day with His grace, and you will find His strength will fill you, sustain you, build you up, and you will soar like an eagle. You will have a life full of the Lord, and that life wants for nothing!

 

God Bless,
