Today's Verse

VERSE:
  Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and
fall; 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 40:30-31
     

THOUGHT:
  What is your strength? Is it your youth? ... your conditioning?
.. your wisdom? ... your friends? ... your experience? None of us
can depend upon our human ability. Health, wisdom, and wealth are
all vulnerable to the fragility of life and circumstance. Only the
LORD can ensure that we can survive the unthinkable, thrive in the
mundane, and soar in good times. Let's call upon, let's wait upon,
let's depend upon the LORD!

PRAYER:
  O LORD, thank you for sustaining me through the hard times in my
life. Thank you for helping me soar, doing things for you that I
never dreamed I could accomplish. Father, thank you for blessing me
during the everyday comings and goings of life. I depend upon you
for help and strength. For every good thing in my life I praise you
and thank you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
