We have the awesome privilege of caring for our 1 1/2 year old granddaughter this morning. She is just about the cutest thing you would ever want to see (bias admitted). She talks nonstop and moves endlessly. I wish that I could tape into her energy source. Wouldn’t it be great if we had the same energy at 70 years old as a toddler does now?
We all possess different types of energy and at different levels. Some have the intellectual energy to solve calculus equations and some of us can only hope to make the correct change at the store. Some of us need emotional energy to handle big personal tragedy and others may only need to cry at a touching movie scene. Some need the physical energy to do hard manual labor while others only need enough of this energy to turn an accounting spreadsheet.
What about spiritual energy? Some of us need spiritual energy to handle failures, weaknesses, and heartaches. Where does this energy come from? We can try on our own strength, but will only encounter more failure. Isaiah 40:31 tells us where to find this strength, “but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” Go to the Lord for the strength and energy you need today.
