Strength In The Midst Of Our Storms

Isa 40:27-31

27 Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: "My way is hidden from the LORD, And my just claim is passed over by my God"?
28 Have you not known? 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.
29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on 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.
NKJV

Gal 6:9

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
NKJV

My Comments:

It's through the storms of life that we question whether God is there. We don't seem to get a response to our prayers, and we lose heart. We talk just like Israel; "God's forgotten about me. He's not there. I can't get out of this mess. I give up." We grow weary of waiting. Don't lose heart! God is still there! He is there to strengthen us, and to bring us through our storms! As we put our hope in Him, He will give us the strength to come out of that storm a victor!

Confession:

I may have storms, but I choose to not give up! I will not grow weary! God gives me power! He increases my strength! My strength is renewed! I run my race with joy! I choose to walk by faith, and I won't faint! I cannot be defeated and I will not quit! [*]
