4. Have you noticed in life
things get old and wear out,
jeans, shoes, flip phone, my
car and other things
We replace material things
God renew living things
18. Hope:
meanstowait,lookfor,linger.
“but those who hope in the Lord will
renewtheirstrength.They
willsoaronwingslikeeagles;theywill
run and not grow weary, they will
walkandnotbefaint.“
Isaiah40:31
19. “You CAN run and not grow
weary, walk and not faint, when
you wait upon the lord you grow
stronger… when you are
connected to the source. NOT just
physical, this is a spiritual
strength… face winds of resistance
youcanriseabove…”
20. In the old testament God
taught His people to stay
connected, dependent on
Him…

21. Exodus 20:8-10
8Remember to observe the
Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
(Setapart)
9 You have six days each week
foryourordinarywork,
10 but the seventh day is a
Sabbath day of rest dedicated
to the Lord your God.
22. When you know God is the
source and you stay connected
your strength is renewed
Enemy wants to distract you,
looking away… good things,
success…family…busy…debt…
23. Connect our identity to
success, kids well-dressed…
In doing good, we can lose
sight of the source. Even as
Pastor…

25. Matthew 11:28
8Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy-laden
and overburdened, and I
will cause you to rest. {I will
ease and relieve and refresh
your souls}
