We all can have struggles and become tired and weary. We need something to give us a boost and the strength to move. No matter how far we fall down, we do have something to pick us up. God is that boost and our strength.

[h=1]Isaiah 40:28-31[/h][FONT=&quot]28 Do you not know?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] Have you not heard?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Lord is the everlasting God,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] the Creator of the ends of the earth.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He will not grow tired or weary,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] and his understanding no one can fathom.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]29 He gives strength to the weary[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] and increases the power of the weak.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]30 Even youths grow tired and weary,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] and young menstumble and fall;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]31 but those who hope in the Lord[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] will renew their strength.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]They will soar on wings like eagles;[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] they will run and not grow weary,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] they will walk and not be faint.[/FONT]

It's often hard to look up when you fall and stumble into a ditch.

When you are in a pit if you just look at where you are standing or around at those trapped with you or the earthen walls holding you....you may feel buried and dead.

However if you look up to God and His freedom you can see His hands lifting you up the pit of despair.

Thanks for the reminder and Bible verses Von.

Great encouragement!

When we fall - that's when it takes faith to say what God says about us because of His Son's finished work on the cross and resurrection.

Amen...none of us can. The deception is that we think we can by our own efforts bring forth life but it is only found in Him.

This deception can manifest itself in many different ways and even when we do fall for it's deception - the Lord is always there no matter what happens to us - to pick us up and tell us He loves us, Jesus is our Lord, and to walk on in Him.
