Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
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.

~~ Isaiah 40:27-31 (NIV 1984)
Lately, we've been on the road a lot more than usual traveling out of town to help family in the midst of a serious medical situation. Oh, how I've been tempted to complain about my travel weary bones, my body that longs for my bed, meals cooked in my own kitchen my own way, my home being ignored. But it isn't my way right now, it's God's way for me. This week in a meeting this Scripture was shared and opened for discussion. God spoke so clearly through these words: That he will renew my strength; my body will receive rest; I will not faint; eagles' wings will lift me up!
