Don't Give Up!

Isaiah 40: 27-31 (GWT)

Jacob, why do you complain, "My way is hidden from the Lord," ("God doesn't see what is happening to me")?

Israel, why do you say, "My rights are ignored by my God"?

Don't you know? Haven't you heard? The Eternal God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, doesn't grow tired or become weary. His understanding is beyond our reach.

He gives strength to those who grow tired and increases the strength of those who are weak. 

Even young people grow tired and become weary, and young men will stumble and fall.

Yet, the strength of those who wait with hope in the Lord will be renewed. 

They will soar on wings like eagles.
They will run and won't become weary.
They will walk and won't grow tired.

Isaiah is telling God's people to not give up. 

And he is telling us, too, as God's people to not give up.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
