“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
When starting a program of strenuous exercise, it’s a good idea to do it with a partner. Better yet, geta partner with more endurance than you so that you will have someone to motivate you when you’re ready to quit.
Isaiah 40 speaks of God as the perfect partner. In the chapter, we find the people of Israel in a woeful state. Because they fell away from God, he withdrew his protective hand, and they were conquered by other nations and exiled from their homelands. No doubt hope was in short supply. But God tenderly reminded His people that He is the everlasting God. He does not grow tired or weary, and he has a plan. If they put their hope in Him, they too would renew their strength. “They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31. God was reminding His people that he ran alongside them. From that, they should draw hope.
Life is the ultimate endurance test. In times when you’re drained of energy and hope, who will motivate you then? Have you asked God to be your partner? Will you draw hope from him running alongside you?
