Jesus, My portion and strength

Isaiah 40: 29-31 (NSAB)
29He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.
30Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly,
31Yet 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.

My wife Jean has been experiencing morning sickness for the first trimester. During this time, I have been waking up in the early morning to prepare her meals for the day. She has been on bed rest and not able to cook for herself. Although it was tough for me to get up so early and cook for her before I rush off to work, I love her so and would like to take good care of her.

However, I have been missing out my personal time with the Lord and I was feeling really tired, and spiritually dry. When I came upon these verses, I was immediately strengthened. I am encouraged that my God knows what have I been going through. O God, You are awesome and Your love is marvellous! Indeed, those who wait upon You, those who trust in You will not be put to shame. They shall be strengthened and soar with You on high. I bless Your name and I give You the highest praise, O Lord. Jesus, You are my portion and my strength. Who else can i trust but You alone who is faithful. Your love has touches me and I love You, God.
