Bible Word: Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)
"But those who wait on 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."
The divine service was conducted by Rector Zondre Bantom, serving alongside him was Priest Denzil Sauls.
Our Male Choir beautifully sang God Is Liefde in preparation for the Ruby Blessing (40 years) of Retired Priest John Eli and his wife, Sister Mariam Eli. Congratulations to them.
Isaiah chapter 40 is a turning point. After warning, the Prophet brings divine comfort.
We all have moments when we feel drained - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Like the Israelites, we ask: Lord, are You aware of what I am going through?
The answer is YES. The God who numbers the stars and calls each one by name, knows each of us. He knows what brought us into His presence today. He knows every hair on our head. He is everlasting and never changes.
God does not overlook us. He is ever-present. He may not answer in our time, but He answers. He can deal with our complicated lives and strengthen us in our weak moments.
Waiting on the Lord is never a waste of time. It is surrendering everything to Him. When we go through seasons of trial and tribulation, the Lord renews our strength, we need nothing else.
If what is on the ground weakens us, the Lord lifts us up like an eagle - high above, to give us clarity and perspective, to see what He has in store for us.
They shall run and not be weary. The evil one wants to make us weak, but the Lord gives us sustenance and sustaining power. When we say we live for the Lord, we surrender - even the things we cannot do on our own, like forgiving.
Let us choose the Lord today and every day, and with Holy Communion, take it with the intention that God will strengthen me.
