The Lord Is The Everlasting God

Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”?

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.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will 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 40:27-31

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

In late October 2012, a hurricane spawned super storm struck the heavily populated northeastern United States, leaving massive flooding and destruction in its wake. During the storm more than eight million people lost power. Tunnels for cars and trains in New York City were flooded. Outages caused long lines at gas stations. Homes and businesses were without power, for an extended period of time. The howling waters left many neighborhoods crushed, flooded and choked with mountains of sand.

Like a storm of nature, a personal tragedy can often leave us feeling powerless and in the dark. During such times, God’s Word assures us of His help: “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.”

At our lowest point, drained of emotional resources, we can place our hope in the Lord and find our strength in Him.

God is our spiritual power source in every storm of life.

It takes a storm to prove the real shelter.
