“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
Being willing to seek the Lord with your whole heart brings not only renewal to your strength, but it clears the path for you to see clearly. This includes spending time seeking God and just being still in His presence. Praying and listening to the Lord’s direction brings peace and stability to the life of Believers.
“Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” (Psalm 105:4)
Seeking the Lord with your whole heart requires discipline – a certain “hunger and thirst.” This may mean waking up a little earlier to spend time with Him or making other necessary adjustments and accommodations to your daily schedule. This isn’t always easy, but a relentless pursuit of the Lord is not only pleasing to Him, but also brings us great reward in doing so! Ears become more alert to what God is saying and our senses become more sensitive to what God is doing. Those once dark places will begin to have light as His healing presence and peace flood your heart.
Through God, we have wisdom on ways that we can manage our daily lives in a Godly way. He teaches us balance, self-control, and how to live in a way that is positive and that has a positive impact on other people. God’s word is powerful and causes change! It also brings us knowledge, encouragement, and empowerment.
With feet firmly planted in the word of God, we get support, strength, and direction for our lives. Our faith is always made stronger in the presence of the Lord!
