Hope for the Tired and Weary

 

Today is Sunday, and I don’t know about you, but it has been a week for me!  Late nights, early mornings, working on everyday life, and a book project I just started.  Although life can be full of good things, we must pause to remember that if we grow tired and weary, all else in our life will suffer.  Today, I am grateful for a God that not only NEVER grows weary, but that promises to understand where we are in our lives.  He promises to give us strength, and beyond that, increase our power when we are weak.  Our awesome Creator promises us that we will soar on wings like eagles; we will run and not grow weary; we will walk and not faint.

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 40:  28-31
