Before you talk about a renewal, there must have been a reduction, loss or wear and tear of some sort, hence the need to restore it back to its original state of strength and position.
The best of us require constant renewal, especially when you are busy for the Lord. Both spiritual and physical renewal are available for us in Christ. Romans 8:11 shows that the Holy Spirit also gives life to our physical bodies: awesome!
You’ve got to seek to be renewed everyday, not once in several days. Renewal comes as we wait upon the Lord. Isaiah 40:29-31 says that God “gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord 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.”
We can keep going on and on in our work for God as we are being renewed day by day. Amen.
