Sustainable Energy.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

Green. Sustainability. You see and hear those words everywhere these days. Much of what we see is just marketing. The 10% recycled material in Starbucks coffee cups (the cups are not recyclable) or the car that gets 1 mile more than its competition so it becomes the “greenest” car in its class. Fuel made out of corn made food prices go up. Wide use of electric cars will make using electricity in our homes go up. As we struggle to really figure out the sustainability issue, it is important to note that presently the only sustainable energy source is God.

In the 40th chapter of Isaiah the writer states that even youth will faint and be weary. We are simply not made of material that will last forever. Rest will renew our bodies for a time but we get older and wear out. Spiritually, when we trust in our own power we will fail. Ultimately, without a constant connection to God through prayer, we are no match for our weaknesses. If we desire an unlimited source of strength, power and protection, our only option is to seek the Lord while he may be found and wait upon His unfailing grace and mercy.

My prayer is that you connect to and share with those you know the only unlimited renewable energy source.
