Renew My Engagement

Introduction

Renew = Restore after

3 Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. 4 Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”
5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” 6 He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again.
7 Then the angel of the Lord came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.”
8 So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God.
—1 Kings 19:3-8 (NLT)

How To Renew My Engagement:

1. Rest On A

2 On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. —Genesis 2:2-3 (NLT)

26 I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill. 27 And he certainly was ill; in fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him—and also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow after another.
28 So I am all the more anxious to send him back to you, for I know you will be glad to see him, and then I will not be so worried about you. 29 Welcome him in the Lord’s love and with great joy, and give him the honor that people like him deserve. 30 For he risked his life for the work of Christ, and he was at the point of death while doing for me what you couldn’t do from far away. —Philippians 2:26-30 (NLT)

2. Attend To

35 Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. —Mark 1:35 (NLT)

16 But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. —Luke 5:16 (NLT)

For Further Study:

23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. 24 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” —John 4:23-24 (NLT)

20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” —Matthew 18:20 (NLT)

45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” —Mark 10:45 (NLT)

15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. —Mark 16:15 (NLT)

3. Embrace My

11 Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus. —Matthew 4:11 (NLT)

42 “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. 44 He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. —Luke 22:42-44 (NLT)

14 Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation. —Hebrews 1:14 (NLT)

Conclusion

29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 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. —Isaiah 40:29-31 (NKJV)
