Even the youths shall faint and be weary. And the young men shall utterly 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.Isaiah 40:30-31 (ESV)
There may be times in our lives when anxieties of uncertainties overwhelm us and even taking one step further seems so challenging. The last few months had been such as our family battled the storm of parting with our beloved father. The Lord divinely brought eagles to soar near our home each day to remind us of this precious verse. As we wait upon Him, we experienced His supernatural grace and love, His Presence lifting the weight of our struggles and hour of grief.
Loving Father, help us not to shy away from challenges but like the eagle, may we face the storms in life resting on Your perfect goodness and plans. May our vision be transformed as we soar higher not by our strength but in Your enablement. May our trials be turned to testimonies of Your empowering love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
