You may not have the energy to run up a hill today, but God always gives you the strength to run to him.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And for years, my friend Hannah struggled with chronic fatigue. And as much as Hannah tried to keep her focus on Jesus, and keep her quiet time and prayer life strong, she couldn’t sit still without going to sleep! And so, Hannah wrote to me saying, “Joni, I feel as though I’ve been benched; discouraged by a life that seems to not have any purpose – like the Lord has forgotten me.” But Hannah just kept clinging to what she knew to be true from Isaiah 40 where it says: “The Lord will not grow tired or weary…He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak…They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Yes, Hannah may be tired – but the Lord never tires. Today, you may not have the strength to run up a hill – Hannah sure doesn’t – but God can always give you the strength to always run to him. That’s good news for you today.
