Life often brings seasons of isolation and loneliness, chaos, sorrow, and exhaustion. There are times when we must adapt, find creative ways to connect, and navigate unexpected changes. Hope can sometimes feel distant, and joy may seem rare. Yet, as Christians, our true hope and joy come from the Lord.
Isaiah 40 beautifully describes the strength of the Lord and how He helps the weak. He is not like us—He never grows tired or weary. He gives strength to the weary and power to the powerless. The Lord is not seeking those who rely solely on their own strength but is instead calling the broken and the weary. Verse 31 says:
“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
This verse reminds us that there is strength in trusting in the Lord! It speaks of a “new” strength—a strength that only comes from Him. It is a strength that fulfills, transforms, and sustains us in ways nothing else can.
As we step into this new season, let us find our strength in the Lord. Trust that He will sustain you and give you the courage to face each day. When you put your hope in Him, you will soar on wings like eagles, run without growing weary, and walk without fainting. Whether you are trusting Him for the first time or returning after a time of striving on your own, now is the perfect moment to begin anew.
May this be a season of renewed strength and enduring hope as we place our trust in Him.
