“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.” Isaiah 40:31
This week I am on Captiva Island in Florida. I wake up each morning looking forward to walking on the beach. As I walk I remember God’s promises: He will always be with me, even on my walks. I can hear Him say, ”When you need me, I am here . When you are weak, I am your strength. When you are hurting, I am your comfort. When you are afraid, I am your peace.” Whenever trouble comes, remember God is in control. When all is good and at peace, God is in control. How do we learn to wait? How do we learn to be patient? By trusting God’s promises to be with us every step of the way. Rely on Him to make our paths known.
God’s Help Are you worried by trials? Feeling weak and in strife? Trying hard every day, But sorrow fills your life? Are you beat down, troubled, By the words that are said, Disappointments and fear Of what might lie ahead? You can trust in the Lord, And He will see you through. He hears you when you pray. Your trials He foreknew. He promises, ”Fear not, For I’m your Lord God. Never be dismayed Wherever you may trod. “I am always with you. I will give you My strength. I will always help you, And go to any length. “I will ever hold you With My righteous right hand. So give Me your trials. Your fears I understand. “Release them now to Me. Don’t ever hold them near. Find joy in trusting Me, And My grace will appear. “Problems won’t go away, But peace will fill your soul. My hand is strong and sure, And all is in control.”
