“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
I seem to spend alot of my time running from crisis to crisis and to be constantly giving my time and energy to others. (which is not bad and I enjoy helping others. But, my Lord wants me to renew my strength in Him and he wants me to be enabled to enjoy the abundant life He intends for me. The key is to wait upon Him.
Jesus carries more responsibility than I do. More people need Him than will ever need me. Yet He was never overwhelmed or inadequate for the task. May I stop and point people to the one who is adequate. I am not saying that I am going to go around not serving and helping…but the focus should be on me, it should be on the Savior of the World.
May I run to him and rest in His arms, that will I rest in His arms He make renew my strength so that I might go out.
However, daily I must go back to His arms and present myself to Him. So that He may work and move through me.
