DAY NINE
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
Here God reveals Himself as one who never grows weary or runs out of strength. He is the One on whom we can lean and in whom we can find rest. He gives us supernatural strength to go on when we think we cannot. The secret is to wait on Him. Waiting does not meaning sitting around hoping something will happen. Waiting on God means actively putting our confidence in Him to do for us what He has promised. Are you so tired that you feel you just can’t go on; life is too difficult and problems seem to pile up into a mountain? Put everything aside for a while and get alone with God. Read His promise over and over until faith rises in your heart. He will give you strength to go on!
