Topic: Soar By Faith
Text: Isaiah 40:28-31
28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31But 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.
Key Verse: “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).
Message
In this powerful passage from Isaiah, we are reminded of the inexhaustible power of God and His ability to empower those who trust in Him. To “soar by faith” means to rise above life’s challenges and limitations through unwavering trust in God’s promises. Just as eagles soar high above the storm, so can Christian youths rise above the challenges of life by placing their faith in God, drawing strength from Him, and waiting upon His timing and guidance. There are many contemporary youths that are soaring by faith; a good example is Malala Yousafzai, a young advocate for girls’ education. Her unwavering belief in the importance of education for all girls led her to become a global symbol of resilience and hope.

Quote: Christian youths can soar by faith
Challenge: Trust God to turn your dreams to reality!
Prayer for today: Lord, help me to soar by faith in my academics.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
