Isaiah 40:31:
But 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.
DAILY READING 1 Corinthians 4; 1 Kings 17; Amos 1
Mountaineers who climb high mountains, and athletes who run long distances, are often very careful about their diet. This is because what they eat, can ultimately affect their performance. Also eagles, known to be high flyers, are selective about the food they eat, because the eagle’s ability to fly high is dependent upon the strength of its diet. Eagles don’t just eat anything. They avoid eating dead things and feed mostly on freshly killed prey.
Birds that do not fly high such as the vulture, eat dead things, and as a result they often become easy prey to predators. But the Eagle’s diet keeps it strong and enables it to fly to the topmost heights. And so like the eagle, to fly high, we must also be careful what we eat spiritually.
Our primary source of spiritual strength comes from The Word of God. When we wait on The Lord in His Word our strength is renewed to mount up with wings as eagles. It is from The Word, that we receive the divine strength and ability to confront every opposition and overcome.
Jeremiah 15:16 says ‘Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.’
When we eat The Word of God, it imparts into us joy. And we know that the joy of The Lord is our strength. Indeed Through Christ we can do all things.
Ezekiel 2:2 says ‘ And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet,’
Jesus said His Words are spirit and life. As God speaks to us through His Word, The Spirit enters into us and sets us on our feet, moving us into our God ordained path. Well, it doesn’t matter your natural strength or abilities, when you connect to The Word, divine strength will be imparted into you, for supernatural accomplishments. Because it will not be by power or by might, but by The Spirit of The Lord. Strengthened by The Word, we will mount up with wings as eagles, we will walk and not faint, we will run and not be weary. Indeed by The Spirit we will be go from glory to glory, and from victory to victory.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to come daily to Your Word to draw strength for this journey. By Your Spirit, please carry me on the wings of grace, to unimaginable heights, so that I indeed become a sign and wonder to my world in Jesus Name..

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
