Life can be a struggle- each day another hard boulder to drag around- without much relief. We feel pain, fatigue-- mentally, socially, spiritually, in every aspect of our lives. It holds us down without giving any hope- without giving any answer as to why we have to endure so much. But God says- i will be your relief. When you feel weak- i will make you strong. When hope seems filtered out- i will bring an overflow.
Isaiah 28-31
28 Do you not know?All of our life is empowered by him- without him we are dead. But through him we have life. So doesn't it make sense to know that our lives can be energized by him as well? We can do exceptional things with Christ- we can soar like eagles, we can have a never ending surplus of life. The question is what do we do with that never ending surplus- the more we give to God, the more he will give to you. If you give him everything- he will show you how he IS everything.
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;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.
You can never Lose with God, only gain and through that- we find so much more.
Its a short and slightly repetitive study of the passage but really just concentrate on the words of Isaiah- these verses are spoken right before the introduction of the Messiah- words full of hope and promise- that, although we feel tired of waiting- the Messiah is COMING- and he will revive us. Its the same for us now, right? We're waiting for the 2nd coming- for the Messiah- but we should not become restless for "those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength"
God Bless You Guys :)
Amen.
