Time With God Equips Us for Living Life – Isaiah 40:29-31

March 26, 2009 By Dale Fletcher Leave a Comment

Bible ReadingToday we likely face more stressors and strains than usual as times  in the world are really tough.  Since we are in such tough times with the economy, unemployment and the like, you are probably experiencing a high level of stress due to the associated challenges  – in your work, personal life and family life.

During times like this, it’s critical that your level of strength, wisdom and resilience be very high. And it’s vital that you receive this from the Lord.

This requires spending quality alone time with Him. Alone time to be still with Him and to hear from Him. Just time to sit in His presence. To be in His Word so He can speak to you as a son or daughter of God.

“Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

“He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.  Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:29-31

My “To Do” list is always long.  Daily, I am tempted to get right to work and plunge into whatever needs my attention.  After all, there’s work to be done! This is a daily temptation most of us face I imagine.

However, it’s in the waiting… being quiet with God in His presence… that we gain His strength for living. This is a discipline, a spiritual exercise, that has to be practiced over and over and over again.

I encourage you, at all costs, spend personal quiet time with the Lord! He will equip you for living today.

Be well!
