Restoration on a long day

What a day today... I spent about 8 hours standing in a building full of rugged outdoorsmen... who didn't want to buy anything from me. Not a thing. Literally, all we sold was a $10 cleaning kit for a filter. Talk about a drainer to my ego and to my energy! Thankfully, I can come back to the word of God, found in the book of Isaiah (40:28-31):

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 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.

It is good to know that I can be restored not by own power, but the power of God. Even in my great amount of youth, it is easy to get dragged down and worn out. It is the everlasting God who is the one that restores my strength. I have to rely on him.
