Isaiah chapter 40 verses 28 through 31.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He does not faint or grow weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted. But

they who wait for 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.

Oh, there are so many verses in Isaiah Chapter 40 that I would love to lead us to pray through.

It is such an incredible, majestic, beautiful chapter describing the holiness

of God and the power of God and the sovereignty of God and the love of God and the care of God for

his people and the comfort he brings to his people and it ends with the verses I just read.

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, just a summary of who he is. And then we have this

contrast between his power and his strength and our weakness and our lack of strength, our lack of power, how we are

faint people who grow weary, even the youngest among us, even those who have the most

energy at some point we fall exhausted but not God. Never God. He never faints. He never grows weary and not just he is all powerful but he gives power to the faint and he increases the strength of him who has no might.

So be encouraged today if you feel weak in any way which you should because you are human, if you feel tired, if you feel exhausted, look to God, that's the beauty of verse 31.

They who wait for the Lord.

I've shared before this word wait here in Isaiah 40,

verse 31 means to rest trustfully in God.
