"Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They
will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will
walk and not become weary." Isaiah 40:31 NASB
God is interested in our availability to serve Him, not our abilities. If we
wait (are available and willing), He will use us and give us strength to
accomplish those things He wants us to do. The Bible is filled with stories of
people with limited abilities, but were used in a mighty way. As we ponder what
God wants us to do with our lives, wait on the Lord and He will provide the
strength and endurance to accomplish His purposes. Our project at CEF cannot be
done on the strength and abilities of our members - we must humble ourselves
before the Lord and work with His strength. We will fail if we attempt to do
this with only our human skills and talents.

worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be
against you?" - John Wesley in letter to William Wilberforce

Lord help us to wait on you. Give us strength and endurance to accomplish
those things that you want us to do. We pray for peace around the world, but
especially in Sudan where there have been so many years of trouble. Amen.
