Remember Isiaah when he said -
"But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint. 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..."
God did not promise us a rose garden and a life of ease and comfort. Our life of "free will" ensures that we will make mistakes, many mistakes; that our enemy will attempt to derail our lives and that we will need to work hard to earn a day of leisure. This is a given.
What He did promise us though was that, with His help, we will overcome problems, we will fly over trouble, He will sustain our strength so that we do not faint in the battle called life and finally that through Him, we will prevail. what do we need to do? Call on Him. Acknowledge Him and ask Him. Psalm 91 14-16 says -
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
Here are so many promises for us. Eight promises to be precise. Eight promises with just one condition: That we love Him and acknowledge Him. Acknowledging God means that we accept our faults, ask for His help and forgiveness and wait for His direction.
