Read Isaiah 40:1 through 43:28
Have you ever been so physically tired and worn out that you thought you’d never be rested again? Have you ever been so weary that you simply couldn’t sleep? How have lack of physical rest and the loss of physical strength affected your spiritual life?
Throughout the Bible, right up to Jesus’ call to those who would follow Him, Scripture teaches that God provides rest and renewal for His people. It is His plan for His people to be physically and spiritually “fit” and ready to serve in every situation. He has promised to give strength and renewal to the weary.
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 (Isaiah 40:31).
Rely upon the Lord today and He will honor your faith in every situation and give you His grace and strength to find victory, no matter what the circumstances.
Thought for Today:
If your prayer time or worship experience each day leaves you more weary than when you started, perhaps you need to ask the Lord’s help to make some changes in your prayer/worship patterns.
