Isaiah 40:28-31–The Lord Is the Everlasting God

Isaiah 40:28-31–"Have you not known? Have you not heard?  The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to Him who has might He increases strength.  Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

This passage is about Jesus, the Christ.  It is, at the very least, a declaration: have you not heard?  And while it truly is brimming with theological worth, the heart of the matter is relatively simple and direct: He is everlasting–and He provides strength and support for those who would wait on Him. Admittedly, when I am feeling weak or overwhelmed, I am not always looking to the Lord for my strength and assurance, to which I have found my self still anemic and tired.  That being said, I can say without fail that those when I have looked to God I have found refreshment, release, and strength.  This verse has proven true in my own life but I urge you to test its truth for yourself.  Jesus is the everlasting God and He is faithful to provide for those who would wait on Him.  Let us be those that would wait on Him.
