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.

I know I shared this as a portion of my last post, but it is really hitting home with me today.
Today I am tired, weary, on the verge of being physically ill (probably from exhaustion).
But, the wonderful thing to know and remember is that my God who is the Creator of all has the wisdom and ability to impart me – tired, weary old me – with His strength and stamina when I need it most. After all, He lives in me, so it is not so far-fetched to know that His strength resides in me as well. The key is for me to hope in Him, having faith that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
Knowing Who I know and hoping in Him, I know that even this tired body and mind will be renewed by the strength of the One who never grows tired nor weary. I know that these unstable legs that carry me will become sure-footed and not stumble nor fall. And, I know that I will even soar on wings like eagles…I know it because He said it…and if He said it He will surely bring it to pass.
Now, go about your day and evening and be encouraged and renewed. I am, just by sitting down and writing this for you. Guess it was for me, too.
*I wrote this earlier this week while on a lunch break at work and posted it on Faithful Feet. I wanted to share it with you here as well, since I resonate even more with it over the past couple of days. I imagine you do, too.*

The Lord must have known I needed to hear this today!
I need to know that the Lord is still in charge. And all the non- sense that drains our energy and make us fall into defeat doesn't go un-noticed by the Lord.
Thanks for listening to your heart and posting this today.
The Lord uses us everyday...
Blessings sister in Christ...

Wow, thanks, ML! Comments like yours remind me of why I am prompted by God's Spirit to write what I do when I do. I know you can relate. ;-)
Thanks again, dear sister. I am now a "Writer on the Wall", by the way. Thanks for that inspiration & challenge.
