Restore Strength, Eagle Wings

Every Christian will at some time grows weary.  This weariness may be physical tiredness or emotional strain.  When this happens, it is important to take time to replenish the soul before continuing the effort to do God's work.  The Bible often refers to this time as "waiting upon the Lord" as a way to restore one's purpose and dedication.  Taking time for a daily devotional of Bible reading and prayer increases the ability to hear God's direction, grow faith, obtain enlightenment, and build strength to continue the spiritual battle in God's service.  This spirit-building time keeps the Christian from getting discouraged, worn down, or burnt out.  

"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 (KJV) 

Time spent with the Lord motivates continuing His work and provides protection through it.  It builds spiritual excitement and emotional encouragement for accomplishing the mission as God leads. If a Christian tries to do the righteous work on his/her own, they will quickly grow weary.  Submitting oneself to time with God builds strength and character to accomplish physical tasks, overcome mental challenges, and win spiritual battles.  If Christians take the time to rest in God and trust His power, He will provide the strength and perseverance necessary to carry on.
