Hope in the Lord!

Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)

31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Those who hope in the Lord! That's us, you and me and anyone else who will believes that He is the Son of God, sent to save us from eternal damnation. What a tremendous promise for strength when we are overwhelmed by this life. A promise that tells us that when we look to Him, we will not be sitting by the side of the road, but running with renewed vigor or soaring like an eagle. Which ever, we have hope to go on. Life is very hard and no one is immune from the problems. They all come our way, but how we respond will determine what happens. It doesn't do any good to ask "why", rarely do we get an answer for that. What we need to ask is "what" and "how"! Lord, "what" are you trying to show me in this situation will help me to mature and be strong in You, and "how" will you use this to help my brothers and sisters. If you really believe that all things work together to them that love the Lord, and are called according to His purpose, then you must believe that He will keep us from being weary, He will give us hope, He will sustain us. I don't know what you are going through, I just want to encourage you to look to the only One who is capable of delivering us and giving us the victory. My prayer as you read this is that you will be obedient to cast all your cares on Him, that you will have peace in your heart and a new determination to live for Him!

Instead of asking "Why?" we should ask, "Why not?" Thanks for sharing. Happy Spiritual Sunday.
