"Spiritual Renewal"

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not

be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

When we get tired and weary in our physical life, we take a

vacation for a time of renewal and rest, a break from the ordi-

nary. But what about our spiritual life? When we are tired and

dry spiritually and need renewing, Isaiah tells us to "...mount up

with wings as eagles..."

The eagle sees a storm approaching, locks his wings and

starts to soar above the storm. When the storms of life come,

we don't have to be hindered or discouraged, but we can lock-in

our faith through prayer, godly fellowship, and focusing on God.

We will soar to a new spiritual height.

The eagle soars above teh annoying noise makers, the

hawks and crows. Sometimes Christians are teh easiest to get

offended, but if we get closer to God, we will begin to soar

above the person that offends us and the less offensive they will

become (see Psalm 119:164- 165).

The eagle seeks a high, secure place for rest and to raise

their young. As Christians, when we need to rest from the

"noise" of our lives we need to spend time alone with God and

abide secure in His presence and rest in Him.

So, if you're tired, weary and feeling spiritually dry, focus on

God, pursue His presence, and He will allow you to mount up

as eagles.
