“But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.”
Isaiah 40:31
‘Tis the season to start
making New Year’s resolutions. We don’t usually wait until January first and
then get up and decide to make them, we start in advance. What are some of the
top resolutions? Lose weight. Stop smoking. Get fit. What is missing from that
list? Getting spiritually fit. We can diet from self-desire and seek the desire
of Christ. We can cast off the foul odor of sin and practice righteousness. We
can desire spiritual fitness.
Do we want new strength in
the New Year? God tells us that new strength does not start in the gym or on a
fad diet or an attempt at enough self-discipline to end a longstanding bad
habit. It tells us that new strength comes from waiting on the Lord. We don’t
wait for Him to do this for us, but we do invest our time in seeking Him in
prayer, devotion, and service. Then we look for His strength to truly
accomplish great goals of spiritual fitness in His Name.
Dear Father, Let our first
goal this year be spiritual fitness. Amen.
