"You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary"
In my 4th of university I claimed this as my song of the year. It was a busy and tiring year and I found myself constantly trying to rely on my own strength, but time and time I again I realized that it quickly ran out. Every time I would listen to that song on my iPod or sing it at church I was reminded of the promise given in Isaiah 40:28-31:
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, 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."
This will always be one of my most favourite passages of Scripture because of the incredible promise in holds. It captures so well the contrast between our little strength and His great strength. We get tired, we stumble, we lack power, but not God's! He NEVER grows tired or weary and not only does He provide the strength we need, but as we wait upon Him, He mounts us on wings like eagles! WOW.
When you're busy and worn out this month, rely on the Everlasting God and wait upon Him for strength to carry you.
Dear Jesus,
I praise You for Your great strength, power and faithfulness. Thank You for the times where You have mounted me on wings like eagles an carried me. May I continue to remember to rely on Your strength and not my own, for my strength fades so quickly, but Your's lasts FOREVER! Amen.
