What A Mighty God We Serve

 Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) - 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.

The prophet Isaiah concludes this word with a bold statement declaring that those that put their hope in the Lord will do extraordinary things. To fully understand his declaration we have to review verse 28 where Isaiah gives this description of the nature of God: God does not faints, even though he upholds all things by the word of his power (Heb. 1:3); God does not grow weary, we do not have to worry about our Lord ever reaching the end of His strength. "He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keeps thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand,” (Psalm 121:3-5); He possesses all knowledge – God Knows! His knowledge is beyond our human comprehension. Knowing the unfailing nature of God Isaiah then reminds us that God shares His power and strength with everyone that depends on Him. He gives power to the faint and strength to those that have no might. (vs. 29) If you are struggling and you don’t know what to do Jesus stands with arms open wide and beckons all who are heavy laden to come unto him and He will give you rest.
