| Isa 40:25 |
"So--who is like me? Who holds a candle to me?" says The Holy.
|
| Isa 40:26 |
Look at the night skies: Who do you think made all this? Who marches this army of stars out each night, counts them off, calls each by name --so magnificent! so powerful!-- and never overlooks a single one?
|
| Isa 40:27 |
Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, "GOD has lost track of me. He doesn't care what happens to me"?
|
| Isa 40:28 |
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening? GOD doesn't come and go. God lasts. He's Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out.
|
| Isa 40:29 |
He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts.
|
| Isa 40:30 |
For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
|
| Isa 40:31 |
But those who wait upon GOD get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.

Isn’t this an awesome passage of scripture? Our God and Father calls each star by name and yet He knows you by name, He knows the very number of hairs on your head, He cares for you, and He cares what happens to you. He energises those who are tired and gives strength to dropouts! If you feel like you want to drop out, He will strengthen you. As we wait or entwine ourselves with Him we exchange strength. Our weakness is changed into His strength, tiredness is changed into energy. If you feel like you want to drop out, bind yourself to Him and get fresh strength today.
