My personal electronic devices are
so smart, warning me to recharge. Before
shutting down after working a few hours, they have just enough energy to alert,
“Battery exhausted.” As a user, I quickly
respond. At the end of the day (or a
night’s work,) I too can feel it. As an
aging human, I recognize the need, but struggle to recharge myself – response not so quick.
Solar, grid, and car power do it for
them. Sleep, food, change of activity,
prayer, reading, and good music re-energize me; (Google defines the verb: “give
fresh vitality, enthusiasm, or impetus to.”)
One
of my favorite movies is Chariots of Fire
(1981.)
[In
the UK] "... determined young runners train for the 1924 Paris Olympics.
Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a devout Christian born to Scottish missionaries
in China, sees running as part of his worship of God's glory ..." – Google.
As a guest and athlete in Paris, Liddell delivers a Sunday sermon at church during the Olympic Games, quoting from Isaiah 40:29-31.

"He
giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth
strength.
Even
the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
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."
