“SOAR WITH THE EAGLES!”
Isaiah 40:31
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
Since 1991 the verse quoted above has hung over my desk, created in counted cross stitch by our oldest daughter, Brenda. She was growing weaker and weaker and wanted to complete it for my birthday—but having missed my birthday she wanted to complete it before she went to be with the Lord. (You no doubt know how much it means to me!)
It took effort and determination, but she knew she could do it! There is a slang term that is often heard in response to some challenge: “NO SWEAT!” It implies that the challenge has been accepted and it will be done so easily that no sweat will appear on the brow.
I think Isaiah wants to inspire us to rely on the strength of the Lord to such a degree that we use his strength rather than our own. It is trusting and waiting on Him that our strength is renewed and totally energized.
The result of our renewing our strength is that we will soar through the skies like eagles. Someone has humorously remarked that we believers have the choice of soaring like the eagles or waddling like the turkeys. I want to soar!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
