HE
INCREASETH STRENGTH!
Isa
40:28-31
28
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God, the Lord , the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have
no might he increaseth strength.
30
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the
young men shall utterly fall:
31
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint.
It is Monday and I imagine
the majority of people ready to begin another week. For most, Mondays are the
end of a weekend of rest and recreation. Even if they are not anxious to begin
the week of labor, they are at least rested for it. They have been refreshed
and they are ready for it.
It’s different for me!
Monday is my Sabbath day. Having emptied myself of counsel, exhortation and
encouragement, I often find myself like an empty vessel ready to be filled
again. I am a fan of Mondays.
The inexhaustible God does not faint!
God never gets droopy or becomes resentful of those who need Him. I am not God!
Sometimes it is best for me to steal away from people and recharge so that my
light does not grow dim in times of darkness. Even Jesus displayed human
weariness and often removed himself from people to refresh Himself with a time
of prayer and fellowship with His Father. That same benefit is available to us.
Isa
41:10
10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed;
for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will
uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Dear Lord, thank you for your strength when I am
weak. I know that I can always count on you. When I think I can’t you whisper
in my ear that together “we can!” AMEN
