Verse of the Day
Isaiah 40:29-31
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar like wings on eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.Application
God promises that those who rely on Him will be given strength. Human strength is nothing compared to God's strength. He promises to give us strength not to just walk, but to walk and not be faint; not to just run, but to run and not grow tired; not to simply fly but to soar like an eagle.
We stand in awe as we gaze at many of earth's wonders- volcanoes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes. But the power contained in each of these is miniscule compared to the power of our Creator.
Meditate for a few moments on the following: Jesus created the heavens and the earth, the stars, the planets, all the elements, atoms, all of the physical laws that govern everything you see and even those things you cannot see. One million earths can fit inside the sun. Its surface temperature is 11,000 degrees F and its core is 27,000,000 degrees F. Our galaxy contains over 300 billion stars and our universe contains over 500 billion galaxies.
In the last hour, one trillion of your atoms have been replaced. Every second you manufacture over two million red blood cells. At fourteen weeks, a baby's heart is already pumping seven gallons per day. Each one of our eyes contains over one million nerve fibers connecting the retina to the brain. Our brains function at a rate of a thousand computations per second and can hold as much information as that contained in twenty five million books. (More Than Meets The Eye, Richard A. Swenson, M.D.)
If Jesus is capable of all of this, He knows your need, your thoughts, your fears, your circumstances, your pain. He doesn't always remove the trial, but He does promise to see us through the trial. Turn to Him and rely on Him. He said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Hebrews 13:5.
"Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God." -Augustine
