Isaiah 40:31
by adustyframe ~ August 18th, 2006Isaiah 40:31
“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; they shall walk and not faint.”
| Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages, below the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm, it simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.When the storms of life come upon us … and all of us will experience them … we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God.The storms do not have to overcome us, we can allow God’s power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure, and disappointment into our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them. ~ Author Unknown ~ |
To walk and not faint. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? I know that I grow faint many days.
The other night, I was sitting on the couch too tired to get up and go to bed and I was crying as I prayed. “Lord I am so tired. I can’t keep doing this”
Of course it’s so good to know that I can bear up on eagle’s wings using the strength of my Lord and carry on. Not grow faint!
