Those who wait...

My Grandpa was such an amazing man. He loved God with all his heart and was one of the most generous, loving, affectionate, encouraging people I have ever known in my life. I miss him so much on this earth, but know I will see him again one day. His knowledge of the bible was inspirational. We have a video of him reciting (ever so dramatically!) his favourite scripture of all time. Now, every time I read Isaiah 40, I hear his theatrical voice, declaring it word for word with such passionate intonation, truly and without question believing every word he was saying. 

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. :)

I hope this encourages you too. Whatever it is you need strength for today, 
our wonderful God has it ready for you, just wait on Him. :)

Happy sunny Thursday!
