Soaring

My daily Bible reading took me to this passage this morning – Isaiah 40:28-31:
Do you not know?
  Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
  the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
  and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary,
  and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
  and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
  will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
  they will run and not grow weary,
  they will walk and not be faint.
It’s hard not to be comforted when I read this passage.
It’s hard not to be assured and affirmed.
It’s hard not to be uplifted and motivated.
So this morning, I’m all of these and more.
