Walking along the beach recently, I watched a kite surfer take on the huge waves rolling towards him. Though the waves were powerful, the force of the kite enabled him to rise effortlessly above them—at times even soaring through the air. Without the kite, he would have had little control, tossed and pounded by the relentless surf. It made me think: when life’s challenges crash towards us with relentless force, how can we not only endure them but rise above them? The answer is found in connecting to a power greater than ourselves. “Those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). What a promise. If we tether ourselves to God, He will not only help us push through life’s challenges but will lift us to new heights on His Spirit wind. Today, whatever waves are crashing around you, trust in Him and experience His power to soar. Open Bible – https://bit.ly/isa40v30-31 (Craig B)
