I Can Run For Miles And Miles And Miles...

In Sunday’s sermon, Pastor Sam noted that one aspect of God’s incomparably great character is that our Lord has inexhaustible stamina.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.” (Isaiah 40:28)

Pastor Sam shared something that I would like us to consider today: God has no need to relent or resign.

God cannot be exhausted. He cannot be bewildered. And, further, He has imparted His amazing, inexhaustible stamina to His people! Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Are you in the middle of a situation that seems as if it might wear you down, make you ill, or even plunge you into despair? Take heart. Remember who you are and Who you serve. Place your hope in our Almighty God-- the Creator, the Lord of Life, the Ruler over every circumstance, the Lover of our souls. Whether He changes your situation, or whether He glorifies Himself in the midst of your challenges, remember that He is present to renew you, to keep you strong, and to cause you to soar in faith and grace.

Hope in the Lord. Soar. Run. Walk.
