^{How Great is our God}

^{God is greater than the circumstances within each and every one of us}

^{Isaiah 40:27-31}

²⁷O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles?

O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?

²⁸Have you never heard?

Have you never understood?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the ^jCreator of all the earth.

He never grows weak or weary.

No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

²⁹He gives power to the weak

and strength to the powerless.

³⁰Even youths will become weak and tired,

and young men will fall in exhaustion.

³¹But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint.

Sometimes we forget how great God is; so instead of praising him we complain to Him that He does not know what we are going through. WOW are we dumb, because God is with us and see even the smallest bird, why would He not know what we are going through.

Many times we do not see the forest because of the trees or the open door. All we see is the long road ahead and complain that we do not have the strength to complete what God has for us. We miss out on a lot doing this kind of thinking.

But God knows how we feel and how we have fears of failure, and He is adequate to meet our every need (Phil 4:13). We can never accomplish Gods will on our own unless we  trust in him to provide the strength that is needed. If we trust ourselves, we will fail and fall, but if we wait on the Lord by faith, we will receive strength for the journey.

Waiting does not mean sitting around doing nothing but involves believing that he will supply our needs. We also have to meditate on God’s character, His promises, and seeking to glorify Him.

To renew means to exchange our weakness for God’s power (2 Cor. 12:1-10). As we wait on God he enables us to soar when there is a crisis, to run with the challenges when they are too many, and to walk faithfully in the daily demands of life.

“It s harder to walk in the ordinary pressures of life than to fly like an eagle in a time of crisis”

An old Native American saying is that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.
