Renewed Strength

While it is good to eat healthy and to exercise, that is not the ultimate source of our strength. The true source of our physical, mental, and spiritual strength comes from God.

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength."

"But they that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount us with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:29 & 31

Wit exertion and continued effort, it is possible for us to become weary and to fall. He can pick us up, sustain us, and renew our strength because He is our strength.

To keep our 'batteries fully charged', we need to make sure that we are 'plugged into' God.

"God is our refuge, and strength ..." Psalms 46:1

My Strength And My Song

When hard times come and things get rough, "And in that day thou shalt say, O Lord, I will praise thee; though Thou wast angry with me, Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for The Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song ..." Isaiah 12:1-2

The children of Israel sang this hymn of praise. We also ought to rejoice, sing praises unto Him,
and give thanks for the grace of God.

God will deliver the faithful from the consequences of their sins just as He delivered Israel. We will be punished for our sinful ways, but God will not stay angry with us. If we honestly cry out to Him, He will help us and save us from our situation.

And that is reason enough to rejoice and sing praises to His name.
