Isaiah 40: 27 – 28; Psalm 90:2; Psalm 62:8
Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know?Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
Psalm 90:2
…from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
- God is the source of all strength – human strength is limited.
- Material power is also limited – wealth, position, power are all limited.
2. GOD GIVES STRENGTH TO THE WEARY AND WEAK. Isaiah 40:29
Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
The weary and weak – related but they emphasize different conditions and different help.
Weary – tired, exhausted, won out due to challenges.
- Elijah – feels weary and exhausted – asking God to kill him (1King 19:1 – 8)
- But God gives him strength to move on.
Weak – incapable, incompetent, powerless, unable to do things.
- Gideon – Gideon feels incapable, insignificant and powerless.
- God gave him power and courage to face and defeat his enemies.
3. GOD’S STRENGTH ENABLES HIS PEOPLE TO RISE ABOVE CHALLENGES.

Job 19:25 I know my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.
