Isaiah 40:31
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.
School. Work. Church. Ministry. Bills. Family. Relationship. Repeat. It can be pretty stressful sometimes! I found out just recently that working out is a good stress relief. It makes you feel good about yourself knowing that you're in shape. Plus, the endorphin high that you get from running is pretty awesome! But I must admit, working out to take stress out of my life is temporary. Pretty soon, I'm going to need something bigger than my muscles to carry my problems.
When I read this verse, it reminds me that God is my source of strength. It might be a cliche, but if you think about it, my Strength is BIG. IT'S GREAT. My Strength holds the universe. Because of my Strength, I am able to see the faithful sun every morning. Because of my Strength, I am held together, not breaking apart into 3 million pieces. Because of my Strength, I am able to breathe and enjoy life with my friends and family. My Strength is God. He is my source of strength. I'm pretty strong!
And you carry Him well.
