He is My Strength


He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless. Youths may faint and grow weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who trust 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 faint.
Isaiah 40:29‭-‬31 HCSB

All over the world there are the weary: weary in well-doing; weary in work; weary in life; weary in soul; weary in war. Yet this scripture comes against all weariness. Our God is our source of strength, He is our song.

You would do well to read the whole chapter, it is full of life and promise. Our God is above all, He is above and outside all drama; all pain; all trauma; all threats and intimidation. He is the God who created the starry host, who holds them in place. He is God, a force we cannot dissect or fathom. We cannot conquer Him with knowledge and look and say: " See! We have determined your measure and You have been found wanting!" He is outside of measure, it is He who measures. The pot does not rule the potter. HE RULES!

He is able to give strength as He is creator. He is able to sustain. He is the mighty God who harnesses the clouds and fashions horses to pull His chariot. He grasps the lightning and uses it as a weapon. He picks up the thunder and hurls it at His enemies. He is mighty in battle! He is the mighty warrior! He has not been conquered, rather He is the conqueror.

This mighty warrior is on my side! He is my lover and friend. I can trust Him! Amen!
