Weekly Encouragement

Have you not known? Have you not heard?

Adonai is the eternal G-d, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He does not grow tired or weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

He gives strength to the weary, and to one without vigor He adds might.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall,

but they who wait for Adonai will renew their strength.

They will soar up with wings as eagles.

They will run, and not grow weary.

They will walk, and not be faint.

 - Isaiah 40:28-31


We all know the feeling of reaching the end of yourself, when you strive and strive but still fall short. When you've exhausted your strength and there is still a gap to fill, Adonai, the Mighty One of Israel is there in the gap. He gives us the strength and endurance to continue when we feel most powerless. We know these things intellectually, but when you are at your breaking point is when you must trust that He is there to catch you and to carry you through. If you are weary today, cry out to Him and place your hope in the Creator of the ends of the Earth.
