When life's struggles make you weary, find strength in the Lord.

当生活压力让你疲惫不堪，靠主从新得力。

Those who hope in the  will renew their strength.  Isaiah 40:31

但那等候耶和华的，必从新得力。-以赛亚书40章31节

On a beautiful, sunny day, I was walking in a park and feeling very weary in spirit. It wasn’t just one thing weighing me down—it seemed to be everything. When I stopped to sit on a bench, I noticed a small plaque placed there in loving memory of a “devoted husband, father, brother, and friend.” Also on the plaque were these words, “But they who wait for the  shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isa. 40:31 ).

在一个美丽晴朗的日子，我在公园里散步，觉得心灵非常疲惫。不只是一件事情沉重地压在我心头上，而似乎是所有的事情都成为我心中的千斤重担。当我停下来坐在长凳上，我注意到那里有一块小牌匾，注明这个长凳是为了纪念“一位忠实的丈夫、父亲、兄弟和良友”，上面还有这样一段话：“但那等候耶和华的，必从新得力。他们必如鹰展翅上腾，他们奔跑却不困倦，行走却不疲乏。” (以赛亚书40章31节)

Those familiar words came to me as a personal touch from the Lord. Weariness—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—comes to us all. Isaiah reminds us that although we become tired, the Lord, the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth “will not grow tired or weary” (v. 28). How easily I had forgotten that in every situation “[the Lord] gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak” (v. 29).

这句熟悉的经文像是主特别对我说话，给我安慰。我们每个人都会在生理上、情绪上或心灵上感到疲惫，然而先知以赛亚提醒我们，我们会感觉疲累，但永在的上帝、创造地极的主“并不疲乏，也不困倦” (28节) 。可惜我却时常忘记我们的上帝有大能大力，“疲乏的，祂赐能力；软弱的，祂加力量” (29节) 。

What’s it like on your journey today? If fatigue has caused you to forget God’s presence and power, why not pause and recall His promise. “Those who hope in the will renew their strength” (v. 31). Here. Now. Right where we are.

你今天过得如何呢？如果疲乏已让你忘记上帝的同在和大能，何不稍停一下，就在此地、此刻，回想祂的应许：“但那等候耶和华的，必从新得力。”（31节）

Lord, thank You that You do not grow weary. 

Give me the strength to face 

whatever situation I am in today.

 主啊，谢谢祢，因祢永不困倦。
求祢赐给我力量，
让我能面对今天所处的任何景况。

Read:Isaiah 40:27-31 New International Version (NIV)

27 Why do you complain, Jacob?
    Why do you say, Israel,
“My way is hidden from the Lord;
    my cause is disregarded by my God”?
28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

以赛亚书 40:27-31

勉励其民

27 雅各啊，你为何说“我的道路向耶和华隐藏”？以色列啊，你为何言“我的冤屈神并不查问”？ 28 你岂不曾知道吗？你岂不曾听见吗？永在的神耶和华，创造地极的主，并不疲乏，也不困倦，他的智慧无法测度。 29 疲乏的，他赐能力；软弱的，他加力量。 30 就是少年人也要疲乏困倦，强壮的也必全然跌倒， 31 但那等候耶和华的，必重新得力。他们必如鹰展翅上腾，他们奔跑却不困倦，行走却不疲乏。
