Isaiah 40:31 NIV
Many who know me know that I have spent much time in the mountains, mostly hiking, with some climbing. When I hiked the mountains, I carried a small card in my wallet with the words of Isaiah 40:31 written from the KJV. Though slightly different in wording, its meaning remains the same.
When fatigue set in, I didn’t just rest; I turned to God, took out my wallet, read the words, and trusted Him to refresh me. And He did. Strength came to my body and spirit, allowing me to press on with renewed strength and faith.
That’s the personal message to me. The universal message is an incredible visual of what God’s people look forward to. God will not only renew their strength but will also bring them through every obstacle they face. They will soar like eagles. I love the imagery of those words. All God’s people need to do is trust in Him.
Have a blessed Sunday.
