Today Verse: — Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
“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.”
Today Devotional
You're exhausted, aren't you? Life has been throwing everything it can at you, and your reserves are running dangerously low. Your spiritual tank feels empty, your emotional well has run dry, and you're wondering if you have enough left to make it through another day.
God sees you right there in that place of depletion. He knows exactly how drained you feel because He designed you to need Him. This isn't a flaw in your faith—it's the very doorway to His supernatural power.
The Hebrew word for "renew" here means "to exchange." God isn't just patching up your worn-out strength like putting a band-aid on a broken engine. He's offering you a complete exchange program—your weakness for His limitless power, your exhaustion for His endless energy, your depleted reserves for His inexhaustible supply.
Think about eagles. They don't flap frantically like sparrows, burning out quickly in a burst of desperate activity. Eagles catch the thermal currents and soar effortlessly for hours, riding on invisible power that lifts them higher than their own strength could ever take them. That's what God is offering you—not more of your limited power, but access to His unlimited strength through the thermal currents of His Spirit.
When you place your hope completely in the Lord—not in your ability to fix things, not in your strength to endure, but in His character and His promises—something supernatural happens. His strength becomes your strength. His peace becomes your peace. His power flows through your weakness like electricity through a conductor.
Prayer for the Day
Lord, I'm tired of trying to soar on my own failing wings. I exchange my exhaustion for Your limitless strength today. Lift me on the currents of Your Spirit and help me soar. Amen.
