“But 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.”

Anyone have Olympic fatigue yet?  No, I’m not talking about being tired of the Olympics as I never tire of seeing athletes from around the world peak every four years and make the impossible look so easy.  I am talking about the fatigue from staying up late every night to catch up with all that has happened and watching NBC’s nighttime coverage.  I know, I can timeshift with the DVR or go online and watch them whenever I want,  but I like not knowing what has happened and then being there, in the moment as best I can.  But, if I am tired, imagine how nearly exhausted those who have put on the games must be?  Exhilarated and exhausted at the same time is sometimes magical.  Startups know the feeling as do any group of people who have had to meet an important milestone and had to give their all to get there. We can’t peak everyday, but having moments and times like the Olympics does every four years, to garner the best of people can, while fatiguing, still be amazing.

God gives us His remarkable strength and endurance and promises that we will have the energy to keep on going when doing His work and following His will.  We should never allow ourselves to grow weary in His work and if we feel that we are, we need to return to His Word and our knees for rejuvenation.  God wants us to be at our best for Him at all times; in our lives, our work, today in a meeting, etc.  Let’s never let ourselves be fatigued but full of His spirit!
