Through His strength
we will be renewed
There will be those days when you are going to feel less
than efficient; even your physical energy will feel drained. All that wonderful
motivation you had before will seem to have just deserted you. What do you do?
Do you think to yourself; “I’ve got to make things in my life happen”, and so
you press on with only your own strength? You could, but don’t be surprised if
you run out of steam. In (Jeremiah 29:11) God talks about the plans He has for
us. Just as He has a plan for us He also has a time-frame in which He will
accomplish His plan. When we attempt to get ahead of His plan by pushing ahead
without Him we can lose our enthusiasm in our effort, become confused, maybe
even give up trying to finish what we started. When we try to accomplish what
God has planned for us in our own strength; or worst yet, we come up with our
own plan, the results are likely to be discouraging. It’s really best if we
wait for Him!
(Isaiah 40:30) advises us to be patient and wait on the
Lord; Even the youth shall faint and be
weary, / and the young men shall fall, / but those who wait on 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.
When we are moving in God’s purpose, He gives us the
strength and the wisdom to accomplish that which He has planned for us. Pray
for His perfect will in your life; then, just wait for Him.
