The Bible Tells me So
(NKJV) Is 40:28 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.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 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.
How many times in my life have I sought out this scripture for solace and assurance? And how many times has God comforted me with the knowledge that the God Who was, and is and shall be is my refuge, my strength, my ever-present help in the time of need? How do I know this? Because the Bible tells me so.
I have lived a long time and I know one thing is true: the Bible is the living Word of God. How do I know this? Because the Holy Spirit shines His light upon the Word and reveals hidden truths that somehow I was unable to discern before. And I have talked to others who experienced the same thing!
It is for this reason that I know the Word lives.
So when I see the promise that he that waits upon the Lord will renew his strength, I know that promise is for me.
May we seek out His truth and be fulfilled today.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
