Before We Worship

"Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for 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)

This is an exceedingly comforting promise. Life often leaves us exhausted. Trials we face show us how weak we are. Our daily striving for holiness often discourages us. We feel drained. What do we do?

Sleep helps. Thankfully, the sun goes down every day. Taking a day off helps, also. Once again, God gives us a weekly day of rest. These and other resources come from God's kind heart that we may recharge and begin again.

But we sometimes forget how empowering God's promise is. Perhaps it is because there is nothing for us to do but remember. We are the passive recipients of the promise that flows in one direction — from God to us — and we have nothing to do except to believe. But believing God's promises is sometimes harder than we expect. Bad news that surround us most certainly speak louder than God's promises.

So we must remember actively. We need to regularly recall and meditate on God's promises. That is how we anchor our souls in the storm of life. So remember the promise of Isaiah 40:30–31. God promises to renew your strength. He promises to be all that you need him to be, and more. Remember that!
