Scripture Meditation No. 1648
AATHAVAN – Tuesday, 12.08.2025
"He giveth power
to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength."
(Isaiah 40:29, KJV)
In this world, there are
many things that can make us weary. When what we expected does not happen, when
what we desired is not given to us, when none of our hopes are fulfilled, we
grow faint. Even when we live a God-pleasing life in our spiritual walk, such
situations still occur at times. At such moments, we may feel as though God has
forgotten us, disregarded our righteous living, and cast us aside.
It is to such weary people
that God speaks today’s meditation verse. The preceding verses shed more light
on this truth:
"Why sayest thou, O
Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is
passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding."
(Isaiah 40:27–28, KJV)
As a spiritual Israel, as a
Jacob chosen by God, why do you say, “My way is hid from the LORD, and my
judgment is passed over from my God”? Why do you lament so? The everlasting
God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary. Have
you not known? Have you not heard? declares the Lord. In other words, He says: “I
know your righteous life and your cause. I have not grown tired of helping you,
and I will surely answer you.”
Yes, He is the God who gives
power to the faint and increases the strength of those who have no might. But
we must patiently wait upon Him. That is why He further says:
"But they that wait
upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as
eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not
faint." (Isaiah 40:31, KJV)
Only when we read the
Scriptures in their connected context do we fully understand their meaning. If
we are to mount up with wings as eagles, it is not enough merely to “wait”; we
must wait as spiritual Israelites, living in faithfulness to God. Yes, O Jacob,
O Israel, do not say, “My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed
over from my God.”
The Lord God who created and
rules the universe has not grown weary. Moreover, His understanding is
unsearchable. Knowing the appointed times and seasons, He will surely stand by
us. If we are weary today, let us cling to Him in faith. He will not only give
us strength and lift us up, but also cause us to increase in that strength.
