Pembaharuan dari Allah

Pemazmur menasehatkan apabila kita sakit - secara fisik, emosional atau pun rohani – maka Allah sanggup menyembuhkan dan memperbaharui kita. Yesaya juga meneguhkan bahwa kekuatan sejati kita datangnya hanya dari Allah. Dia tidak membiarkan kita letih!

2 Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits—

3 Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,

4 Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;

5 Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]! [Isa. 40:31.]

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.
