“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” John 6:63 (NAS)

Plastic fruit has its place, but give me fresh fruit any day! Play money works in the Monopoly board game, but I’ll take the real dinero, thank you very much! Big clothes may help to make me look thinner, but actually being fit is a far better option!

If you are old enough, you remember the famous television show whose hero was introduced with this charged description: “Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” Of course, it was none other than……SUPERMAN! Well, that entertaining and fictional show, like every other, eventually found its way into a vault of archives, where its only exposure to the light of day now would come in the form of a re-run. As captivating as that series was, there’s something far greater and more enduring that comes from Isaiah 40:31 in the Bible!

This verse says: “Those who wait upon the Lord (who expect, look for, and hope in Him) shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up (close to God) as eagles (mount up to the sun); they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint or become tired.”

A reference like this is so uplifting and encouraging that only the Supernatural Creating Spirit can boast. If the living God says we can have an intimate relationship and perspective in Him, then we can endure the marathon of life. With His inspired energy, we can take on the details of daily activity with a confident diligence and excellence. Bottom line…give me what God’s prophet said in Isaiah 40:31!

Family and friends, no plastic, no games, no imaging, and no science fiction can ever meet the need of the protection, provision, direction, strength and courage that we require in life. The truth and freshness from the script of Almighty God is our practical reliance and will never qualify as a re-run…Please choose to turn Him on today and take His show on the road with you—–LIVE!
