"You were wearied by all your ways, but you would not say, 'It is hopeless.' You found renewal of your strength, and so you did not faint."
Isaiah 57:10
I don't want to mar or dilute these words by speaking too much (even though I don't have that kind of power over them). Sometimes we are called to be silent and use everything within us to just believe. Sometimes accepting that is harder than others. Sometimes it's easy and blatantly obvious to recognize. This verse is more on the blatantly obvious side to me because so many days I find myself obviously wearied by all my ways.
There's no denying, excusing or ignorance of the fact that all my strivings and all my self-righteousness is too much for me to bear. I wasn't made to.
But I know the truth is that it is not hopeless, despite what my self-pity would have me believe.
Because of that, I find renewal of my strength and cannot fall. This is something I know needs to just be believed.
My strength comes from the Lord- when I feel like I have it all together and when its obvious to me that the only thing that I do have is Him.
