ISAIAH 40:3131 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.Hope: means to wait, look for, linger.
CLOSE CIRCUIT• In the old testament God
taught his people to stay connected and
dependent on him…
MANNA - God’s connection
SABBATH – Israel’s connection
When you know God is the source
and you stay connected, your
strength is renewed.
DISTRACTED Enemy wants to
distract us good things... success… family…
busy… debt…
In doing good, we can lose sight of the
source.
DO ONLY THE WILL OF GOD
MATTHEW 11:28 AMP
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
HABBAKUK 3:2
2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
