Why would you ever complain, O Jacob,
or, whine, Israel, saying,
“God has lost track of me.
He doesn’t care what happens to me”?
Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening?
God doesn’t come and go. God lasts.
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don’t get tired,
they walk and don’t lag behind.
ISAIAH 40:28-31, MSG
It was stuffy, where I was. Some people say it's the state of weakness, others call it brokenness, whatever it was it was draining. I needed Him badly (still do). Everything was falling apart, my world was crumbling at my feet, right before my eyes. I was tired- tired of inconsistency, tired of irresponsibility, tired of walking out of purpose, tired of drawing away from God. I was tired of being tired and desperate for the strength of the Lord.
