Scriptures:
Isaiah 40:21-31
Do you
not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have
you not understood since the earth was founded?
He sits enthroned above the circle of
the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens
like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes
to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
No sooner are they planted, no sooner
are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them
and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
"To whom will you compare me? Or
who is my equal?" says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the
heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and
calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one
of them is missing.
Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain,
O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord ; my cause is disregarded by my
God"?
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.
He
gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths
grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the
Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will
run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
