Have you ever
run and not gotten tired? Imagine how God stays awake 24/7 and NEVER gets
tired. That is so amazing to me! God is so awesome. He is the best of everything…never
tires, never gives up, always listens, knows everything, understands
everything, is the epitome of wisdom, and is all loving. One of my son’s
favorite movies is Chariot of Fire. In
that a young Jewish man and a young Scottish man run in the 1924 Olympics for
the British team. They run so effortlessly—as if on wings of eagles. Those
young men certainly gained their strength from the Lord—or maybe it is just the
music that gives you that impression. At any rate God gave them strength…and
will give you strength—just ask. He encourages us to wait on Him…He will give
us new strength.
Training Tip – Take your children out for a run through a grassy
park or down a nice path. Run until they get tired…and then read this verse to
them. After a short rest and water break, have them run again and encourage
them as they run back to your car that they will mount up with wings like
eagles and not get tired. When you get home, give them a drawing of eagles to
color…and remind them that it is the Lord who gives us strength like the
eagles. (There are many drawing available on-line for free.)
Lord, as I walk this week—please give me new
strength and help me not to get weary...not to be tired out and achy in my
joints. I imagine those wings of eagles carrying me down the path. I wait on
You Lord to provide the strength I need.
