The Majesty of the Lord Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth. Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might, He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall. But...those who wait on 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. -Isa 40:28-31 Alot of people like to run and not be weary if they have the ability control their own fate. Alot of people get encouraged after reading this line in the Bible or somewhere on posters for motivational purposes. But not alot of people read the lines BEFORE this, and they don't realize that the power to run and not be weary is not from within us, no matter how hard we try. Rather, it comes from someone who doesn't faint and doesn't get weary. And that is our Creator God. How is it youths and young men can "fall" and "fail" in their strength, being YOUNG, ENERGETIC and seemingly having EVERYTHING in their hands? Well for most of us, we do well beyond failing and falling right? Guys and girls go to universities to do their degrees or double degrees, find great jobs and establish happy families. Some have gone all the way to the top and been very successful from applying talents, abilities, intelligence, or sheer hard work and determination. But in order to let God, we got to first let go. Yes - letting go of the talents, abilities, intelligence and hard work...not just the negatives ie. hurts, disappointments, failures - God is not a rubbish dump! To let go, is actually letting go INTO God's hands...the good and the bad. You know inside the deepest depth of your heart that your talents and abilities are well entrusted into the hands of someone who is the source of ALL power, might & knowledge. Isn't that going to be the best investment ever in your life? =) Best insurance. Best security. I want to realize how the same talent, same wit, same ability, same hard work - can produce a different outcome and result - the moment we decide to let go and let God. I think it is only then that we have truly matured and known God better. Labels: contemplative, revelation 3:34 AM
