So the new semester started like 2 weeks ago. I'm not feeling overwhelmed or anything like that yet; times like those are bound to come, especially with me being a junior and on the executive boards of two student orgs. But I'm prepared! While reading my Bible, I came across a verse that I've heard many, MANY times, but it really spoke to me and gave me the encouragement I'll need when the semester starts to seem overwhelming.
Isaiah 40:30-31(MSG):
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don’t get tired,
they walk and don’t lag behind.
My translation: People who may seem strong get weak, because they're human, but those who rely fully, depend on and hope in God will constantly be renewed because they are so close to God. Even when they should be tired, they aren't. He is the motivation that keeps them going.
Happy new semester!
Selah [pause and think]
