...and not faint.

'Why do you say, O Jacob,

and speak, O Israel,

"My way is hidden from the Lord,

and my right is disregarded by God"?

Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, 

the Creator to the ends of the earth.

He does not faint or grow weary; 

His understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the faint,

and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even youths grow 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.'

Isaiah 40: 27-31

Regardless of what today holds for you, I pray that you would take heart and know that your way is not hidden from the Lord. He sees every hurt, he sees every sinful thing and his invitation remains. He extends mercy where condemnation resides. He provides strength where there is only weariness. He breathes life into the broken. He pours water over the dry land. As we draw near to the heart of God, confess our need for a Savior, and wait upon Him as we take refuge in the shelter of His wings, our strength will be renewed.

Come and rest. For it is in resting and waiting that you will run and not be weary, walk and not faint.
