“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)
Last year was a very difficult year for our family. In November it became much worse. That’s why I haven’t written this blog.
In the weeks that I have not felt that I could write these words kept going through my mind:
“Let go and let God.”
It is hard for me to do that. I am a person of action who needs to be steering the ship. This morning, as I was working, the verse from Isaiah came into my mind. It is one of my favorite verses from the Bible.
I ask the Lord to lift up my family on eagles’ wings and to lift up your family, too.
The Lord’s help when we are burdened is a sacred gift. I wish you countless sacred gifts.
I guess we all need to be reminded from time to time that God is there for us. When we are in the midst of difficult things, it sometimes seems that this is hard to remember since we often think that we are the ones in control.
Your writing and thoughts are beautiful, Lee. Thanks for the reminders!!
Thank you and thank you for your encouragement.
It’s very hard to trust God’s plan for our lives since we don’t know what that plan is or how he’s using the events in our lives to fulfill that plan. Nevertheless, God will never give us more than we can handle…with His help. Our strength lies in Him alone.
You are so right.
