‘The
Lord is the everlasting God… He gives strength to the weary and
increases the power of the weak… those who wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength…’ (Isaiah 40:28-31). Far too often, Lord, we say,
‘I can’t’ when we really mean ‘I won’t’. ‘I can’t’ – This, Lord, is an
insult to Your power of God. You call us to do something special for
Him. We say, ‘I can’t’. What are we really saying? We’re saying – ‘Lord,
I don’t believe Your promise – “Those who wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength”’. Help us, Lord, to stop saying, ‘I can’t’. Help
us not to get so busy with other things that we fail to wait upon
You, Lord, and renew your strength. When You call us to serve Him, help
us to say, ‘Yes, Lord, I will wait upon You. I will renew my strength. I
will do Your will’.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
