For Renewed Strength – Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” (Isaiah 40:31)
My precious child, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to meditate on Isaiah 40:31.  It says “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” Do you know what the meaning of waiting upon the Lord is? It is waiting at the feet of the Lord with a prayerful mind. David says in Psalm 5:3 I will wait upon the Lord, look unto him, and he will hear my voice. When I look up on God, he will speak to me. That should be your hope also. This is what we read in Psalm 121:1-2. The verse in Psalm 147:11 says, “The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” According to Proverbs 20:22, the Lord saves the people who wait upon Him.

Isaiah 40:31 says “They that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” The Bible says in Isaiah 49:23, “Kings will bow down before you with their faces to the ground.” In Isaiah 64:4 we read “Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.”
There was a man named Cornelius. We read about him in Acts 10. He was a gentile and not a Jew, but he was praying with his family all the time. Because of that, God arranged for his disciple Peter to come and visit him and spend time with him and his family and friends. Through that, they all received God’s power and strength through the Holy Spirit of the Lord. My child, wait upon the Lord whenever you have time to spare. The Lord will also fill you with the power through the Holy Spirit of God.
Prayer:
My loving heavenly Father,

Thank you for today’s promise word. As per this promise, I am waiting at your feet.  Lord, please fill me with your Holy Spirit. With your Holy Spirit in me, I know I will receive all that I need and not lack in anything. Thank you Lord for you will answer my prayers.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
