Strength

It seems as though these days everyone is tired. Whether we're in class, working on homework, going to our jobs, or taking care of things around home...there never seem to be enough hours in the day......and it's exhausting.

On top of all the things we have to do...throw on all kinds of emotional stress on top of that. Dealing with siblings, parents, friends, neighbors, boyfriends, girlfriends...sometimes the drama can be overwhelming.

If this description fits you and your day to day dealings...just remember these verses...they're pretty appropriate:

Isaiah 40: 28-31

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.

These were the verses of the day that popped up on my screen this morning. Nothing is coincidental. God knew that these verses needed to be read today. He is so good!!

I love the beginning part..."Do you not know? Have you not heard?" It's like they're saying, "HELLOOOOO! Don't you realize??? The EVERLASTING GOD doesn't get tired like we do!!" We should take comfort in this part from verse 28....HE will not grow tired or weary. So when we're worn out and we feel like we've got nothing left, God is still going strong. The God who created the universe just by speaking that it be so, is on our team, and wants to renew our strength. Just trust Him.
