Wings for the Week

Wings for the Week

9.21.15

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Isaiah 40:31

"If you show me a Christian living on the Word of God, I will show you a joyful man. He is mounting up all the time. He has got new truths that lift him up over every obstacle, and he mounts over difficulties higher and higher."

D.L. Moody

Sometimes, after a great Sunday of worship, Monday can feel like the day after Christmas for me. It can feel like a "here we go again" start to the week.

For me, the best cure for Monday blahs is to start in the early morning with immersing myself in the Word and tuning out all of my wonders and worries about my week.  

Don't discount that early time of meditation and fellowship with God each day. I'm convinced it's where we get our wings for the week.  When we "come off the mountain" after time spent with him, all perspective changes. What once was big now seems so much smaller. The challenges ahead that seemed insurmountable  are approached with those new wings and a renewed confidence in our Lord, our Hope for the future!

With Him by our side, we can face the coming week confident in the fact that we can run and not grow weary, walk and not faint, and mount up with new wings as eagles!

May you seek His face before you face any other today!
