The word of God tells us that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on winds as eagles, they shall run and not be weary and shall walk and not faint. I pray that you find these words motivational in your daily walk with Christ.

“The go from strength to strength”…..Psalm 84:7

By: Pastor Samuel Olugbemi

(Senior pastor, Christ Ambassadors Ministries)

There are various renderings of these words…

They go from strength to strength, but all of them contain the idea of progress. They grow stronger and stronger.

Usually, if we are walking, we go from strength to weakness, we start fresh and in good order for our journey but by-and-by the road is rough, and the sun is hot, we sit down by the wayside, and then again painfully continue our weary way.

The Christian pilgrim, having obtained supplies of grace, is as vigorous after years of toil-some travel and struggle as when he first set out. He is much stronger in all that constitutes real power, and travels, if more slowly, but far more surely.

‘The youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up on wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.’

You will never find a bundle of affliction which has not bound in the midst of it enough grace. God will give the strength of ripe manhood with the burden allotted to full-grown shoulders…
