In Him

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.    
Isa. 40.28-31
                                                                           

I quote this lengthy passage for I believe it needs little comment. It speaks for itself. Through Isaiah, God tells us who He is. In one word: He is everything.

He is strength. He comes in strength into my weakness. I will grow tired and weary, I will stumble and fall. But I most definitely have hope in Him. I am humbly aware of his mighty power, and my need of Him.

As I hope on Him, open myself up completely and give myself to Him, so my strength will be renewed. This will not be my doing, but His. I am the recipient of His power and strength, His mercy and forgiveness, his love and grace, His blessing, and the wonder of His company ever with me. He has promised never to leave me and never to forsake me. In Him and by my renewed strength in Him, I will soar high on wings as an eagle does. I will run without weariness and I will walk without becoming faint. My whole life stems from Him. He created my being. I am privileged to live in Him. I am humbled, and most grateful for His presence in my life, and the relationship I enjoy with Him.



Almighty and Most Loving God,
I say, with all humility and sincerity, “Thank You.”        Amen.
