Need an energy boost?

Isaiah 40:29-31, "He gives strength to the 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." (NIV)
I remember very well in my primary school days, during sport programs, anyone who participated in any of the games got a spoonful of glucose not just as a reward, but as a boost for the spent energy. We all looked forward to getting glucose and having feeling the coolness of it on our tongues and relish the sweetness.
Looking back to my life, I have come to realize that life is a race. It is a continuous process which will not end until Jesus comes. You will agree with me that sometimes we get weary and tired and begin to feel like we can't go on. It seems like all our physical and emotional energy has been spent to the point of no remedy and then many of us tend to listen to our feelings and want to give up on life.
What difficulty are you going through in your life right now? What challenges are seeming to weigh you down?
Do not forget that even in the physical race, the journey is not entirely smooth. It may be rigorous and the runner may even encounter hurdles along the way. But does he give up? No! He has his eyes on the finish line and on the prize.
Do you need an energy boost? Is your strength failing you? God has been promised to renew your strength if only you wait on Him. This you can do in prayer and communion with Him. His arms are wide open when you are feeling spent and beaten. He is ready to refresh you so that you can walk, run, and even soar with renewed strength.
Do not give up. Keep the faith. It is not over yet. Keep your eyes on the finish line and the prize which in our case as Children of the Most High is the unfading crown of righteousness.
2 Timothy 4:7-8a "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness..." (NIV)
Need and energy boost? Go to God!!!
