SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 6/28

Isaiah 40:31
"Those who wait upon the Lord will find new strength,
they will soar high on wings like eagles."

I like to think of these words as very personal.
"I will wait on the Lord and will find new strength,"
"I will soar high on wings like eagles."
God recognises us as His personal ones.
"I have called you by name, and you are mine."
Every Sunday we address Him with the words "Our Father."
For us this is our personal request, our deliberate action.
We must wait upon the Lord in anticipation
and we will not be disappointed.
We must believe that He will supply us with
"new strength" day by day.

This is not about sustaining our human bodies.
It is God who supplies us with "new strength".
Then we can expect to"soar high on wings like eagles."

Every day is a new day
and for that we need "new strength."
The writers of the Old Testament encourages us
to experience new lives as free as the soaring eagles.
Did you know that the eagle is the only bird
who can look into the brightness of the sun
and not be blinded?

The Lord is waiting to supply our weak spiritual needs.
All we have to do is to
"wait upon the Lord" just for a few moments each morning.
We forget that we are human beings
but rather children of God and soar with Him,
feed on Him and grow in Him.
