Daily Delight
On this side of heaven, we frequently find ourselves in situations that seem impossible to manage, and yet we still are invited to come to the Lord and declare His attributes.Have you ever spoken His attributes aloud? Even if it is uncomfortable, try it: my strength, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my refuge, my shield, my helmet of protection and salvation, my stronghold.Too often, we listen to ourselves (lies in our mind), instead of talking to ourselves (the truth of the Word). If you are anything like me, the worldly things that we listen to are almost always lies, but when we speak of who He is—the truth shatters the lies every single time. Our discouragement and fear fade to nothing.Sister, hide these words in your heart. Memorize them, so when your situation seems impossible, you can remember who the Lord is and receive hope from His Word.
“But they who wait for 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 (ESV)
Remember to wait for the Lord. The imagery in Isaiah 40:31 gives us a picture of mounting on the wings of eagles—a representation of a heavenward motion. The circumstances that we find ourselves in will never be easy, but as we fix our eyes on the Lord, we will “run and not be weary; ...walk and not [grow] faint.”Find hope in Christ today!
