3-22-07 Isaiah 40:29-31

Isaiah 40: 29-31(AV)
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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.

Isaiah 40: 29-31 (NIVUS)
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 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: 29-31 (NRSV)
He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those 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.

Sometimes life just makes you tired. The everyday stresses of making a living and dealing with other people can tap into your strength quickly. At those times, you must turn to the Lord. When you are weary, faint, and fatigued, Jehovah will give you His strength and power. If trouble, wickedness, or sorrow seem to be dogging your steps, trust in Him. Though your vigor, your physical strength, or even your wealth seem to drain away from you, do not fear. God will make you strong and mighty; He will put abundant strength in your bones. He will multiply and increase you. He will enlarge your borders and give you excess.

Even young boys, though they go about growling like lions, can grow faint and fatigued. When they labor and toil at their work, they too can become weary. Young men, those that are chosen and elect, can grow feeble, totter and stumble. They too can become weak.

If you feel like these young people, wait, look to, and eagerly expect Yeshua to change you. He will cause your strength to sprout anew. He will cause you to rise and ascend as if you had the wings of an eagle. He will cause you to excel and be superior. You will be able to run and move quickly. As you do your work, you will not toil or grow weary. Walking about, carrying out your daily tasks, you will not faint or be fatigued.

So rest easy; Jehovah is your Shalom!
