They shall run and not be weary

Isaiah 40:28-99 (New King James Version)

28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on 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.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary (keep this verse for later). His understanding... is u-n-s-e-a-r-c-h-a-b-l-e (you cannot find it).

He gives! He gives! He gives! power to the weak (thats us, if you claim that you can stand on your own- you are foolin' yourself).

And to those who have 'NO' might... He increases! He increases!... He increases strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary. (They are strong, full of energy, compared to those of older age. BUT, they shall faint and be weary!)

And the young men shall utterly fall. (Even the greatest of athletes, who have toned their muscles, who go through cardio exercises- who try and achieve top shape so they can compete..... but they shall 'UTTERY' fall. Not just fall- but 'UTTERLY FALL!--- these great athletes).

But................ those who 'wait' on the LORD (wait for something, 'EXPECT' something from the Lord, for those that wait for the bus... you know its coming.... when it is not there on time, what do you do.... keep waiting for it to come. At one point in my growth, I would go through trials- sometimes I would UTTERLY fall, sometimes, I would patiently wait out the storm- of which, you may go all the way through the storm to the very end. But, if you wait and seek Him, He will send you a message..... why He put you through that trial) ------ But, those who wait on the LORD----SHALL renew their strength.

The Apostle Paul in the book of 2 Timothy 4:14-17 was under great stress from Alexander:

14Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm ( in this chapter, Paul was scrambling for help/reinforcements). The Lord will repay him for what he has done. 15You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
16At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.

((((((((((((((Lets back up to verse 9..... 9Do your best to come to me quickly, 10for Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 12I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.))))))))))).

(lets continue in verse in 17 in 2 Timothy) 17But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth.

They shall mount up with wings like eagles (We will rise above this situation), They shall run AND NOT BE WEARY, They shall walk AND NOT FAINT.




In the Trinity, being... God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit- all are equal, but they do have their own duties. God can be referred to as "The Will".... The Will of God. The Son is our Savior, only though Him can we be reconciled to God, only though Him can we enter into the Kingdom of God..... He is much like our attorney for us before God, petitioning on our behalf before God- protecting us from 'God's Wrath'. Let's look in John 5, verse 22 ---Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,.

But, WHO delivers His Will to us??? By the Power of the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit..... delivers and places--- desires/actions/burdens upon us. But, how do we hear Him??? We must deny ourselves, our actions, our thoughts.......BECAUSE, the flesh is WEAK. We need to focus on the thoughts He provides us. This is just an introduction of how God desires to USE US and how He administers His Will to us.... or how He desires to STRENGTHEN US..... when we UTTERLY FALL.
