Strength for the Journey
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.
Isaiah 40:31
With a majestic view from above, those who wait on the Lord will receive the strength of eagles, mounting up on wings and soaring effortlessly through the sky, able to continue the journey without becoming weary. God supports our efforts and gives us the energy to complete our mission. The Lord can hold up the stars and provide strength for our tired bones. In Him, we have all we need.
My bones feel weary as I battle a head cold. Each morning, I wake, hoping the pressure in my head will decrease and my dry cough will disappear. Little by little, my body’s miraculous healing powers help the cough subside. God’s presence at times like these comforts me. I can hear my heavenly Father saying, “Rest.”
Finding strength in the Lord helps me move forward despite my situation. Knowing my strength comes from my Maker, I trust His diagnosis. Resting my weary bones, I trust the Lord to provide all I need for the journey ahead as I wait for my health to improve.
God provides the strength we need to fight whatever battle we face. Waiting on the Lord’s direction gives us the power to soar through the skies like a mighty eagle, effortlessly continuing our journey. Sometimes, we must rest before we take flight. Other times, we’ll mount up with wings and soar. Either way, the Lord guides us on our journey.
Application:
God provides our strength.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for strengthening our journey, letting us mount up like eagles, and gain a majestic view of the path ahead. Help us trust in Your provision, lay our weariness at Your feet, and accept divine assistance on our journey. In You, we have all we need.
IJNIP. Amen
