In life, sometimes we fall, other times we crash and at times we burn ourselves out. For me, today was one of those days, battered, beaten and bruised by the unexpected jabs life threw my way. Like an injured bird unable to fly, I didn’t get very far with my broken wings.
Isaiah 40:31 is a famous passage of the Bible quoted in several movies like Remember the Titans, yet verses 27-30 often get neglected. The context of this passage talks about Israel, God’s chosen people, complaining that God’s way is hidden from them. God sends the prophet Isaiah to remind Israel of God’s promises.
God understands that we will become tired, weak, weary and stumble and fall along the way. However, just as a caterpillar undergoes a chrysalis to become a butterfly, Christian’s must die to self before they can be transformed, finding new life in Christ, Matthew 16:25. Only then, can we exchange our broken wings for God’s wings like eagles. My prayer is that God will help you this day to soar above any fall, crash or burn out you experience. For nothing is impossible with God, Luke 1:37!
