Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 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. (Isaiah 40:28-31)
Today's Morsel: You may ask: How are you doing? How is your day going? And most people respond: I'm so busy. I'm so tired. When we read Isaiah chapter 40, most of the time we focus on the last verse. "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." But really the focus should not be on the last verse, but on verse 28. "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?" If God doesn't faint and isn't weary, then why are so many Christians weak and tired out. Are you expending your strength and power in things that don't matter or are for the wrong reasons. Let me encourage you, don't allow yourself to become faint and weary. Keep your mind stayed on Christ and you won't grow weary nor faint.
Sing: There is power in the name of Jesus, There is power in the name of Jesus, There is power in the name of Jesus, to break every chain, break every chain, to break every chain.
Thought for Today: A faint and weary heart is a heart being improperly used. (Parker)
