Soar!
“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.” Isaiah 40:28-31.
Almost all of us can recall times when our bodies and minds have felt tired from manual labour and mental strain.
If these conditions become constant or extreme, it is very easy for us to become burned out.
Fortunately, we have been provided with specific encouragement for such times of exhaustion.
Today’s Scripture reading reveals three reassuring truths about God and His faithfulness in our times of weakness.
First-
Power of God!
We learn that the Lord “does not become weary or tired.” v. 28.
Therefore, we can call upon a God who won’t ever run out of power.
His strength has never decreased and will not decrease in the future.
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Heb. 13:8.
Second-
Provision of God!
We find that “He gives strength to the weary” and power to those who are not mighty. Isa. 40:29.
Our loving heavenly Father does not frown upon us when we are weak.
Instead, He embraces us and lifts us up when we are unable to help ourselves.
Finally-
Promise of God!
We are given an incredible promise.
Verse 31 reads, “Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.”
The next time you feel too tired or frustrated to go on, remember this:
Our God is not exhaustible.
Instead, He is faithful to provide a supply of endless divine strength to those who are willing to wait for His perfect timing.
In all things, He gives exactly what we need for the moment at hand.
