The Incomparable Lord - Part 5
Isaiah 40:30-31
04/26/2024
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young
men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for 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. (ESV)
This week we have been looking at the power of God versus
the power of the world. ``To whom then will you compare me, that
I should be like him? says the Holy One.''
The prophet Isaiah was writing to bring comfort to those in
exile, to those who thought they had been forgotten by God. They
had grown weary and discouraged. Yet, Isaiah brought them hope.
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men
shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for 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.
God our heavenly Father gives us tangible proof of His love,
grace, and mercy. By sending Jesus to bear our sin, to redeem us
from our transgressions as well as from the power of the devil
and even death, we now have hope. Although in life we will grow
weary, and we will sleep for a while, yet we have the sure and
certain hope of life everlasting because we have been forgiven.
That forgiveness is not because of our strength, for ``even
youths shall faint and grow weary.'' That forgiveness is a gift
given to us for the sake of Christ Jesus.
Join us at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sunday morning at 9:00
a.m. to hear more of God's rich grace, love, and mercy. May our
Lord continue to bless you. Amen.
