“Trade In: Your Weakness for His Strength”
BY
ADRIAN ROGERS
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint.” - Isaiah 40:31
What does it mean to “renew” your strength? It literally means
“changed,” as if you changed clothes. You remove your rags of weakness and put
on God’s royal robes of strength. God promises to exchange our strength with
His strength.
You see, the Christian life is not just simply a changed life,
it is an exchanged life.
God doesn’t just change us from what we were to something
better. He exchanges His life with us. He takes our sin. We take His holiness.
He takes our weakness. We take His strength. He takes our anxiety. We take His
peace.
Sounds great. But, what’s the problem? We get tired of waiting
for the change.
Friend, don’t give up. The wait is never too long when God is in
charge.
