"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. 29 He gives power to the weak and to those who have no might, He increases strength." Isaiah 40:28-29 NKJV
Do you want to live a life that pleases God? Then you need to walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7), because without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Tony Evans comments:
'You must operate by faith, even if you must do so alone and go against the accepted norms of the day. You must believe with expectation that God responds - regarding His will for your life - when you seek to please Him.' Tony Evans Bible Commentary, Holman Publishers.
But to do this, you need strength because the way ahead can be rocky and dangerous. God knows this and watches our every step. It is almost like He has cameras around, all over the place watching every move we make. He never faints, nor grows weary. In fact, He never sleeps. He understands us through and through knowing our thoughts and what we need. He is invincible.
Have you ever felt so weak that you feel you can't go ahead? God knows this and therefore gives power to the weak v29, and watch this, 'And to those who have no might, He increases strength' v29. His door is never closed and He's available 24/7. Therefore, when you can't sleep, speak to Him and allow Him to encourage you.
Read again the words of Paul, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness' 2 Corinthians 12:9. God has the all sufficient strength for each one of us. We should never try to go it alone, because, if we do we may fall. You need strength and you need to walk by faith. Do you know this - really know and believe this? Then why do you doubt at times?
2 Timothy 1:6 says, 'Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you' For this to happen you need to have faith and you you need to live it, eat it and sleep with it. Faith isn't something you pick up and use when you feel it will come in handy. It is for you to flow in, all the time. Jesus used the term, 'O you of little faith' Matthew 8:26. He used this quite often to His disciples.
You need to cultivate the ability to see the unseen, 'While we do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal' 2 Corinthians 4:18.
If you want strength then, live by faith.
