“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 KJV
Our daily walks are very familiar. But there is one variable that Famous has learned. As we approach the last curve in the road, less than fifty yards from our home, he stops and waits. He has been leading most of the journey. Sometimes I have had to jog to keep up with him. But with the possibility of a short cut behind our neighbors’ houses, he waits to see if the timing is right. Not too early. Not too late.
But if the present moment is good and appropriate, the clip on Famous’ leash is released and he runs off to our backyard. He might spook a squirrel or a rabbit, or find the scent of a possum or deer. And even if the walk has been long and tiring, the moment he is free he takes off with new energy! He can go where he likes, and chase whatever crosses his path. He is renewed and can do what he was created to do.
God is the one who can release us from our chains to be all that He intended us to be. When we discover his power by trusting and hoping in him, and not ourselves, then we are lifted up with newfound spirit and and strength.
This is the day God has given me wings.
