Today in bible study we discussed some of Isaiah 40. This is the part of the passage that spoke to me:
"They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
- Isaiah 40:31
These are three times in everyone's spiritual journey. Sometimes after a weekend retreat or an amazing Well, we're on a Jesus high and we soar. Other times are less exciting but God's presence is still strong; we're running. Finally, when we don't feel God's presence or may feel stuck in a rut, we walk.
Lately, I've been feeling stagnant in my faith. I haven't felt anything mind-blowing or anything out of the ordinary. Some of my friends are pumped up and having awesome experiences, so what about me? This has been discouraging and I felt like I was doing something wrong or I was missing something.
Luckily, God showed me otherwise with this passage. Right now, in my spiritual journey, I'm walking. For whatever reason, I'm not prepared to run right now. The best part of what the passage tells me is that no matter what stage I'm in, soaring, running, or walking, I'm still moving closer and closer to God.
Another day living in faith and with the Spirit inside me is one more day with my Creator and Redeemer. How cool is that?
