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. 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 faint.” NIV
The other night I was at a friend’s house and I thought of this scripture as we talked about hardships that were taking place in our lives and in the lives of the people we receive prayer requests for. At first I only thought about the latter part of the scripture but when I turned to it in the bible my eyes fell upon the first part, I read it aloud and was inspired and encouraged.
It is one thing to say God is in control of our lives, it is another to gain encouragement from knowing that He is in control. Isaiah said “He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom”. When I first read this, it was as if a light bulb went off in my head. For quite some time I had been trying to figure out how this mess in my life was God’s will and trying to gain insight into God’s thoughts, but I couldn’t fathom His understanding and I am not supposed to! He is God, He is in control, He has the plan, He will not grow tired and weary and because of all of this I can rest in Him. Gain hope, renew my strength, continue to run and not get weary, walk and not faint.
When you are in the midst of a storm hold fast and know God knows what he is doing, that He loves you and always remember “Father Knows Best”.
