Renewing your Strength

He Renews our Strength

I was running tonight and I was thinking about my Sister-in-law and her fight with Cancer. I remember going to see her and the fight she had going into surgery and after she came out. I remember talking to my brother and the things that she was going through and the battles she had to face. Even though the chemo was taking her strength away she never let it get to her. I watch her fight this fight and was amazed. I am watching a friend right now that I worked with fight this fight also and he is upbeat and keep his strength even though I know he has days where he feels like he doesn’t want to get out of bed just as my sister-in-law did but they continued to fine the strength to move forward with this fight. They never threw in the towel. It brought to my mind why do we throw in the towel so easy on things that we think are hard but compared to our Friends and Family members who fight Cancer its not. Where do they find there strength to fight this disease that could take their lives, but we throw in the towel on things that will not take our lives and are just small compared to this.  I know my sister-in-law and my friend find their strength in our Father (God).

Which brought me to Isaiah 40: 28-29 “Have you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” When we genuinely lift our hearts and prayers to God, He renews our Strength. Are you almost to weary to lift your head? Then bow it.  Offer your concerns and your fears to your father in heaven. He is always at your side, offering His love and his Strength. Are you troubled or anxious? Take your anxieties to God in prayer. Are you weak and worried? Delve deeply into Gods Holy Word and sense His presence in the quiet moments of the day. Are you spiritually exhausted? Call upon fellow believers to support you, and call upon Christ to renew your spirit and your life. Your Savior will never let you down. To the contrary, He will always lift you up if you ask Him to. So what, dear friend, are you waiting for.  So what things are we about to throw in the towel that we should give it to God and allow him to get us through it?
