Seeking God | Day 10
Isaiah 40:30-31
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for 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.
This is one of my personal favorite verses in the Bible. It is “tattooed” on my soul and I have it memorized. When I was facing an overwhelming situation and a debilitating disease that left me so weak, this verse (and promise) is something I clung to. Everybody faces weaknesses. No one is immune to experiencing weariness. Isaiah reminds us of this but also shows us how to renew our strength. It is through waiting on the Lord. What does it mean to wait on the Lord? It means to rest in the fact that your life is in God’s hands. It means to trust Him. It means to seek after Him and His power. It means to stop being anxious and thinking that everything depends on you. When you wait on the Lord, you are putting your problems in God’s hand and He always comes through. Jesus Christ is enough for us and He will never leave or forsake us.
PRAYER – Where do you need to “wait” on the Lord? Pray that God would strengthen your faith. Pray for someone you know who is going through a trial or weakness that they would wait on the Lord and experience His power.
