Strength Renewed

Isaiah 40:29-31 shows the importance of strength renewed by the Lord, not by the self.

To those, who faint, God gives them power,
a fainting youth in the weary hour.

To mightless ones increasing strength.
young men, who fall as on the brink.

The ones, who wait upon the Lord
On eagles' wings, they quote His Word.

strength new for each day
Run... Be not weary or faint.
This, our lives must learn.
