RENEWED STRENGTH FOR OUR JOURNEY!

RENEWED STRENGTH FOR THE JOURNEY
YOU DO REALIZE THAT THIS, OLD EARTH IS NOT THE BELIEVER’S HOME, HEAVEN IS OUR HOME. Our strength has to be continually renewed for our journey. We need to stay prepared for Christ is not coming this time to get us ready, but because we are ready to receive our reward. So strength up and let’s adorn ourselves for the bridegroom. I’ve gone on many trips and first I have to prepare. I usually start early as to try and not forget anything needed for the trip, because I am not only packing for myself but for others too. Another thing is we are not in a hurry when we travel, we stop alone the way, spend the night and rest. God tell us to rest in Him for this journey can be long and we do not want to run out of spiritual steam before our journey is over.
Isaiah 40:31

“But 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; and they shall walk, and not faint.” The key is to come to God in our weakness and wait upon Him. The word ‘wait’ means intwine, and it pictures two ropes wrapped around each other, so that the smaller and weaker rope receives strength from the larger, stronger rope. We are to draw near to God and wrap ourselves around Him, so that His strength comes into us and fills our weakness. In this way our strength will be renewed by His strength. The word ‘renewed’ is literally ‘exchanged’, so that we exchange our weakness with His strength. So if we come to God in prayer and draw upon His strength, He will renew our strength, life and youth, overcoming our tiredness and weakness, so that we will not be weary or faint. 

We are not called to be strong in our own strength, but to be strong in the strength (power) of the Lord by faith: “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might”
