Restart: 7 Days of Faith and Fitness · Day 5 of 7 Movement

Renewed Strength

“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

Some days you will wake up with no energy and no motivation. That is normal, and it is exactly where God's promise meets you.

Waiting on the Lord does not mean doing nothing. It means leaning on Him while you take the next step. Notice the order in the verse: soar, run, walk. Some days you will feel like you are flying. Most days you will just keep walking.

When I started moving, I could barely walk a few blocks. I did not run. I walked, and I prayed while I walked. Strength came gradually, and it came from more than my muscles.

Today, invite God into your movement. Let your walk become worship.

Some days you will soar. Most days you will just keep walking. Both count.

Soul workWhat are you waiting on God for in this season? Bring it to Him while you move today.
Body workTake a 20 minute prayer walk. Pray for a different person every few minutes.
PrayLord, renew my strength today. When I cannot soar or run, help me keep walking with You. Amen.
