—Isaiah 41:8-13
by: Cheryl Steele.
This passage speaks to me of spiritual refreshment. God promised that His people would be surrounded by His care and protection. He would give them strength when they needed it. I know I do not always recognize how God is working in my life, but I know that He is. James 1:2 says we should find joy in our various trials. I believe Isaiah said something similar. Just as our joy mentioned in James comes from the Lord, here we are reminded that no matter what trials we face, the Lord will provide the strength to endure them.
