Isaiah Chapter 40 Verses 29 to 31 from the Good News
Bible reads as follows:
(29) He strengthens those who are weak and tired.
(30 Even those who are young grow weak; young men
can fall exhausted.
(31) But those who trust in the Lord for help will
find their strength renewed. They will rise up on wings like eagles; they will
run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.
Are you tired and weary? Maybe physically in these
winter days your energy is not what it is, say,
in the month of August. The cold tires you, the dampness in the air
chills your bones and the lack of sunshine makes you weary. In August the warm
breezes call you to the water for a nice swim and some exercise. Funny how the
weather affects us.
Most folks I speak with these days are tired of
Covid and the restrictions, not being able to see family and friends whether
they are 200 miles or 2000 miles away. However, we must keep the travel
restrictions in place for the good of everyone.
At this time we are kept from large gatherings due
to a certain number restriction. Again for the safety and protection of each
one of us. So many of us are missing church, theatre, restaurant meals with
friends, the list goes on and on. However our numbers of cases right here in
Pictou County are low thanks to everyone who is abiding by the requests given
to us by our government and medical professionals. They are doing a good job
and deserve our vote of thanks.
Take heart my dear people, for when we do our part
now, one day this will all be behind us and we will be free “like a bird from
his cage”.
When I think of that; I think of the eagle, how
majestic it is in size and how graceful it glides through the air. They are
huge, Google tells me an adult male is about 36 inches long and has a wing span
of 6.6 feet. I’ve seen eagles but not up close and personal so to speak. I’ve
watched them takeoff from a perched position to fly way up high and it is
breathtaking. To see them sore through the air so beautifully, surely we
forget, how it is possible for them to do it. Their strength is amazing, you
can almost feel it if you’re close enough to them when they rise up. By close,
I really mean keep a safe distance and watch from afar.😊
When I am tired and weary I close my eyes and
picture an
eagle flying. I am renewed in my mind and some how
my body gets a surge of energy as well.
Then I go to my Bible and read Isaiah Chapter 40
verses 29 through to and including verse 31, I feel renewed. I thank God for
the strength He promises to both the young and the old. When we trust in Him
our strength is renewed, the word says. We will rise up, like the eagle, we
will run and not be weary, we will walk and not grow weak. This sure is good
news for each and everyone of us and a great lift to our spirit.
So like the eagle let’s look forward, let’s
concentrate on things to come, let’s all do our part to help control COVID-19
where we live. Let’s love one another enough to follow all the protocols, be
mindful of the restrictions, wear our masks, wash your hands often, and give
yourself a hug when in someone’s presence and tell them, this hug really is for
you!!
When we do all we are asked, one day, we will be
free as an eagle to come and go wherever we desire and be with family and
friends enjoying life to the fullest, with a much greater appreciation of life
itself.
When we depend on God in all our trials and triumphs
we are in His presence and that is where we need to be when we are weary. When we are weak He is our strength and when
we are tired He is our rest. He is our all; — in all.
Enjoy your day,
Soar like an (🦅) eagle.
