But those who wait upon GOD get fresh strength
They spread their wings and soar like eagles, Isaiah 40:31 The Message
I love this picture. A picture of a beautiful bird of prey, often so active, hunting and looking after it’s young. Here it opens out its large wing span and soars through the clouds. No need to flap its glorious wings but just glide on the thermals.
Being a person living with a chronic illness I am no stranger to fatigue. I find this verse so uplifting…..so comforting….that I can open up my heart and soar on the thermals of the Father’s love and as I do so He renews my strength. I’m not switching off from Him, not standing still. I don’t need to strive. It is in choosing to stop doing, that I gain everything I need. As I rest in Him I am moved by His love and His provision.
Are you too busy? Are you feeling tired, physically or emotionally? Choose to spread out your wings today and rest in the Father’s provision. Be still, lean into Him and let Him take control.
Great stuff Jenny! You and I know how important rest is to us! 👍👌
