‘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’.
Often, Lord, we feel like David - facing Goliath (1 Samuel 17). Everything seems too much for us. Was Goliath too much for David? He wasn't too much for You - and You were on David's side. We're not alone. Help us to remember this. When we feel weak, help us to remember that You are strong - and Your strength has been given to us. Thank You, Lord.
