January 26 Devotion - Renewed Strength and Endurance

 

Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, ² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

 نَحْنُ أَيْضاً، أَنْ نَرْكُضَ بِاجْتِهَادٍ فِي السِّبَاقِ الْمُمْتَدِّ أَمَامَنَا،

 ² مُتَطَلِّعِينَ دَائِماً إِلَى يَسُوعَ: رَائِدِ إِيمَانِنَا وَمُكَمِّلِهِ

 الرَّاجُونَ الرَّبَّ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُجَدِّدُونَ قُوَّتَهُمْ، وَيُحَلِّقُونَ بِأَجْنِحَةِ النُّسُورِ. يَرْكُضُونَ وَلاَ يُعْيُونَ. يَمْشُونَ وَلاَ يَتْعَبُونَ.

 Hebrews 12:1-2, Isaiah 40:31  

 

The scripture tells us that when we run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, and have

hope in the Lord, our strength will be renewed. When we become weary and tired of coping with the global tribulation called Covid-19 and find that the cares of the world are overcoming us, we need to shift back our focus and put our hope in the Lord. In His time we shall be renewed and mount up with wings like eagles. By focusing on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, we will have endurance to go from grace to more grace.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, strengthen me O’Lord to keep my eyes focused on Jesus and to allow Him to work in my life, giving me the endurance required to achieve Your will in my life. Father God I want to soar like an eagle and to never weary doing Your work  God I want to learn to wait upon You and I want to experience Your peace and joy as I await. Thank You Lord for your abundant blessings in my life and for Your grace upon my life. Now to Him who is able to carry out His purpose and do infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Ephesians 3:20-21 (AMP). Amen.

 Jesus loves you,

In Him,
