Scripture

Isaiah 40

28 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.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 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.

Isaiah 41:10

10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Observation

In these chapters one of the things that Isaiah was writing about was the futility of trusting in man made idols, idols that you had to nail down to the floor to keep them for toppling over when you and I can trust in the Creator God who never grows weary and never gets tired. Do you not know? Have you not heard? Listen to this verse, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” That is God’s promise to everyone that puts their faith and trust in Him. Do not be afraid!

Application

I will not be afraid today. I will trust the Lord to renew my strength and I will trust Him to help me soar as an eagle!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for these promises in Isaiah. I will trust you today. I am hearing you and I know that you are promising to take care of me. Help me to soar today like an eagle. Help me not to be weary, renew my strength today. In Jesus Name Amen.
