Soaring

".....those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength

they will soar soar on wings like eagles..."

When Cath read these words in our morning service at church today they connected in a very special way with all that has happened in the last 2 weeks.

I have been wrung out and mangled as day has followed day. This small word hope however has been there and it is amazing how 4 letters can put together such a rich word.

But these words from the old testament prophet Isaiah are just the ticket. They promise new strength; for next week, for what was the routine but will take time to be routine again, and the level of commitment which every day life demands of me and all of us.

Yet these words also promise that those who hope in the Lord will also soar...like eagles.

I must say that "soaring" is a bit outside my mindset just yet, but I have seen so much of God in this time that nothing should surprise me....
