Isaiah 40:28-31 – 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. 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 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.
Our God who is He? He is the Lord God Almighty, creator of everything in the heavens and on the earth. The farthest stars and the brightest stars He, in His majesty, made. Here on earth He has made the smallest creatures and also He has made us. In all of creation, animate and inanimate, His prize creation was and is us. Every one of us. From the humblest of us to the ones who sit on real and political thrones and rule the world. He loves us all! He has and does offer His hand of fellowship and unity to us all. It is hard to fathom that one who is so great, who called everything into being and who holds all that is together, would consider us worthy of even s solitary thought, and yet His thoughts are with us as is His love. So much that He sent His Son Jesus to redeem us. So much that God Himself came to suffer and die to save us from the worst and eternal fate. His love for us is so great that we cannot fathom the depths of it, we can only know that it is.
Considering all that we know, His love is the greatest gift we can have. When He gives us His love He has given us Himself. He has, in the form of a the man Jesus, looked upon us while dying on a cross and still loved us. Never does He stop loving us. Man rejected God when they hung Jesus on a cross. Even that did not pause, falter, or lessen His love for us. So, let us read verses such as this and remember that He is always with us. Let us remember that only the Creator is a true and sure source of strength. Not others, not self, only Him. Others will fail us by conscious thought or lack of ability and so will we fail ourselves. But the intent of God is always to bless us and not to curse us. He is always good to us and He always loves us. We can trust each other knowing that we are all fallible, but to the only infallible One, the Lord God Almighty, who came to earth in the form of Jesus, to save us, we can trust and know that He will never fail us. We may not always understand, but God never, ever, fails us! So we look to God and are comforted. We are moved from abject depression to complete and wonderful bliss. We are moved from what seems poverty of hope to a fullness of hope for tomorrow and forever. When we look to the Lord the world does not tire us because He is in control. When we focus on Jesus, we see all the proof we need to know that God loves us and has done all that we need to be assured of His eternal love and great care for us. So when weak, or when strong, let us look to the Lord for renewed and for greater strength. Then our spirits, the very core of our beings, will soar above the problems that threaten us and we will, at least in spirit, be above them and not entangled in them. This is fact. Also what is fact is that God, with His eyes upon, may change our circumstances to give us rest. Though freedom from trial and pain is not rest, God alone, God Himself, is our very real rest. Resting in Him is eternal every moment of our lives. Let’s rest in Him. Let’s trust in Him. He is with us. When we know Him, we know that He is enough. He is all we need. Praise Him! Praise God!
