He Giveth Power to the Faint (Isaiah 40:29)

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. (Isaiah 40:29)

Of course God can give us His strength when we are weak. But I am tired. So much is against me all the time, it seems. I need Him to give me strength. Better yet, I need to be able to see clearly where I am supposed to be going.

This is a good place to be, in a way. “Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall” (Isaiah 40:30). The strong ones will eventually fail. I don’t have any strength of my own to rely on. So Lord, we wait on You, as it is the only answer.

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 40:31)
