ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

Scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31
The Lord gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youth will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Thought for the Day: There is something about that Spirit-infused energy, the energy that comes to us from God. Even the most youthful, those we expect to have energy in abundance, are going to fall flat at one time or another. Yet for those who wait upon the Lord, who pause long enough to actually receive what God is wanting to give, shall find an inexhaustible quantity of spiritual energy. It may not be the same energy needed to run a marathon, but it does provide a life-energy capable of facing the day when hopelessness appears all consuming; enough fortitude to overcome the negativity so prevalent in some parts of life; a sufficient amount of holy vitality to take another step forward when everyone else believes it is impossible.
Prayer: O Blessed One of Heaven, we pause long enough to obtain the life-energy your Spirit shares with the world. Too often we find ourselves a bit too busy to actually receive the gift you are giving, and then we act surprised when we hit the spiritual wall. Let us take a few moments right now to accept and make use of what you provide. Amen.
