As I get older, I am finding that I can’t do many of the things that I used to be able to do. My mind, also being weak, thinks that I can, but my body reminds me that I don’t have the strength needed to do what my mind thinks I can do. When I still try to do it, I quickly become weak and cannot continue.
Isaiah 40:30-31 says, “Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young me shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for 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.” We may grow weary of doing good, doing the right things, from time to time. It is then that we can draw strength from God and our weaknesses become power. When we wait upon God, His might overrules our weakness and accomplishes even greater things that we could have imagined.
