A Promise to Renew Your Strength

We've talked about mistakes we made in 2009, and our hopes for a better new year. However, hoping won't make it happen. "Turning over a new leaf" won't make it happen. We have to resolve in our hearts to follow the Lord, learn His ways, and lean upon Him.

Can you resolve to let the Lord guide you this year? Will you keep Him, rather than your circumstances, as your focus? Will you trust Him to renew your strength? This is His promise if you do:

"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."

- Isaiah 40:31 

God promises to renew your strength so that you can:

• soar like the eagle, above worldly concerns
• run life's race without feeling weary
• walk through life without fainting
  

What will have to change in your mindset for this to happen? What could keep you from experiencing renewed strength in 2010?
