OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL 30 MAY 2026 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: Isaiah 40:31
“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.”

This verse is a promise of supernatural renewal. The word “renew” means to exchange—to trade your old, depleted strength for God’s fresh, limitless supply. Waiting on the LORD is not passive; it is active dependence. The result is not just survival but soaring: mounting up with eagles’ wings, running without weariness, walking without fainting. This promise is for every believer who feels drained, old, or exhausted.

BIBLE READING: Luke 1:6-7, 57-58
This passage introduces Zachariah and Elisabeth, a righteous couple who walked blamelessly in God’s commandments. Yet they had one sorrow: Elisabeth was barren, and both were “well stricken in years”—advanced in age, past the natural window for childbearing. Humanly speaking, their case was hopeless. But God sent an angel to announce that Elisabeth would bear a son, John the Baptist. When the time came, she gave birth, and her neighbors and relatives rejoiced with her. This passage demonstrates that the Ageless God can make old bodies new, dead wombs fruitful, and hopeless cases into testimonies.

The Ageless God and Your Depleted Strength
In today’s devotional, Pastor E.A. Adeboye brings a message of hope to everyone who feels drained, too old, or too late. He introduces God as the Ageless One—the One who never grows tired, never grows old, and never runs out of strength. And because He is ageless, He can renew your strength, restore your vitality, and make you fruitful again.

The God Who Never Tires
The devotional establishes who God is:

He is the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9-10) —He existed before time began.
He never grows old —He is unaffected by the passage of years.
He never grows tired (Isaiah 40:28) —Unlike young men who wake up strong but are weary by night, God never needs sleep (Psalm 121:4).
His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23) —Every day, He has fresh supplies for your depleted soul.
Because He is ageless, His strength never diminishes. What He had a thousand years ago, He has today. What He gave to Abraham, He can give to you.

Zachariah and Elisabeth: Old Bodies Made New
The Bible reading gives a powerful example of the Ageless God at work. Zachariah and Elisabeth were righteous, faithful, and devoted to God. But they were also old—”well stricken in years.” Elisabeth was barren, and now her body had shut down the possibility of childbearing.

Humanly speaking, their case was hopeless. The clock had run out. The window had closed. The doctors—if there were any—would have said, “It is impossible.”

But the Ageless One stepped in. He did not look at their biological clocks. He did not consult their medical charts. He spoke, and Elisabeth’s old womb received new vitality. She conceived and gave birth to John the Baptist—the forerunner of the Messiah.

The lesson: No matter how old a thing is, when the Ageless One steps into it, He can make it as good as new.

Sarah: The Womb That Was as Good as Dead
The devotional reminds us of Sarah, who was 90 years old when God promised her a son. Romans 4:19 says she had a womb “as good as dead”—completely non-functional. But God did not need a functioning womb; He needed a believing heart. Sarah conceived Isaac, and the impossible became the father of nations.

What God did for Sarah, He can do for you.

Dead womb? He can bring life.
Dead business? He can bring profit.
Dead ministry? He can bring revival.
Dead dream? He can bring fulfillment.
Caleb: Strength Preserved at 80
The devotional gives another example: Caleb. At 80 years old, he said, “I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out and to come in” (Joshua 14:11).

Eighty years old, asking for a mountain. Not a valley, not a retirement home—a mountain. Because his strength had been preserved by the Ageless God.

What kept Caleb strong? He waited on the Lord. He did not trust in his own youth or his own strength. He trusted in the One who never grows old.

What the Ageless God Can Do for You
1. He Can Renew Your Depleted Strength
You may feel drained—physically, emotionally, spiritually. You have given out, poured out, and run dry. The promise of Isaiah 40:31 is for you: “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength.” Not “might renew”—shall renew.

2. He Can Make Old Things New

Old dreams? He can resurrect them.
Old relationships? He can restore them.
Old bodies? He can strengthen them.
Old ministries? He can revive them.
3. He Can Give You a New Lease of Life
The devotional prays: “The Ageless One will visit you today. He will give you a new lease of life and cause you to be fruitful.”
