Run and Not Be Weary

“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

Do you ever feel weary? Feeling tired from overwork or lack of sleep can lead to the loss of energy, and even temporary depression. This is the time to turn to the Lord, for He is always strong, and from his strength we can be refreshed and renewed and ready to begin again. 

As a marathoner I understand feeling tired and exhausted. The one thing that always kept me going was the knowledge that God is with me at all times, giving me the strength to go on and complete the race. When my muscles were exhausted and lacking the store of glycogen sufficient for the race, I always knew that God was with me and He would help me to keep on running and finish the race. 

Whenever i ran I always thought of this scripture from Isaiah, "Run and not be weary." Modern scripture tells us to not be weary of well-doing, that Christ is with us all the way to the end of the task, so we can depend on the strength of the Lord. He is always with us. Thanks be to God. Amen.
