(Isaiah 40:21-31 The Lord gives strength to the weak.)
Isaiah 40:28 "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary; His understanding is unsearchable."
CONSIDER GOD'S WISDOM AND MIGHT
God never gets tired of taking care of His creation. He never grows to weak or tired to do anything. He truly is the All-mighty one. There is no limit to His power. It is impossible for him to have too much to do that He would be worn out and then be too tired to help you.
Also remember that, "His understanding is unsearchable." That is, He is omniscient, He is ALL knowing. Nothing escapes His attention. "O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether" (Psalm 139:1-4).
Since God's understanding of everything is unsearchable, He is never at a loss for ways to help and deliver His people. He can deliver us and help us in ways we would never have dreamed of.
The greatest proof of that is our salvation. Who in the world would ever dream that the best way to save us from our sins and reconcile us to God, would be for God Himself to come to this world as a man? Who could imagine that to save us from God's own wrath and punishment against sin God Himself would bear that punishment and suffer and die in our place? God's ways of saving us are so far greater than anything we would come up with that many consider it utter foolishness. But "the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:25).
Surely God who came up with such an amazing plan to save us from our greatest trouble can come up with the best plan to help us with every other trouble we might face. We can trust His unsearchable wisdom and leave our troubles in His hands.
