Strength Abound

Isaiah 40:25-31
The Message (MSG)

^25-26"So—who is like me?
   Who holds a candle to me?" says The Holy.
Look at the night skies:
   Who do you think made all this?
Who marches this army of stars out each night,
   counts them off, calls each by name
—so magnificent! so powerful!—
   and never overlooks a single one?

^27-31Why 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.

I missed work today because a pipe was backflowing water into Poay Ling’s house. We spent the morning cleaning up and I knew that if I went to work I wouldn’t be able to do. I woke up this morning feeling really bad because i know Ms. Steph my teacher already has it hard with the kids.

With the above verse I’m reminded that I am feeling bad on the wrong thing. I am reminded of the reminder I gave during my PKV speech about relying on God. So often I forget that in the midst of tiredness and trouble God is there to help me.

I’m sorry God for forgetting that YOU Lord are the greatest source of strength.
