The juxtaposition of God’s immensity & tenderness in Is 40 is breathtaking. Your God “who has measured the waters in the hollows of His hand” & “marked off the heavens with the span of His hand” protects His flock like a shepherd, carrying His lambs “in the fold of His garment.”
“Do you not know? Have you not heard?” (Is 40:28)
Oh yeah, many of us have heard 1000X what follows those questions but right about now we may be just exactly exhausted, undone & desperate enough to let them sink all the way from our heads to our hearts then to our actual feet:
“The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to His understanding.
He gives strength to the
FAINT
& strengthens the
POWERLESS.
Youths may become faint & weary, & young men stumble & fall,
BUT THOSE
Let me say those 2 words again, Church.
BUT THOSE.
God’s not gonna force it on you.
BUT THOSE. You’re either a those or you’re not.
“THOSE who trust in the Lord WILL renew their strength; they WILL soar on wings like eagles; they WILL run and not become weary, they WILL walk
AND NOT FAINT.
You’re tired. Don’t know how you’re gonna make it. Exposed to hostile elements. You feel alone. Left.
But strength’s coming, Loved of God. Trust the Great Shepherd who gathers His lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart, in the fold of His garment.
