God Hasn’t Even Fainted
“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. There is no searching of His understanding” (Isaiah 40:28). There is an ignorance of God That supposes He no longer reveals Himself To mankind in his crises and needs— That He is either dead or asleep, Unable to monitor or guide the steps of man. But who is man to measure God? To whom will we liken Him Or compare Him? Hast thou not known? Hast thou not heard? The everlasting Creator, The God of the ends of the world, Neither slumbers nor sleeps. He fainteth not, Neither is weary, But they that trust in Him Shall renew their faith and strength They shall fly as eagles: They shall run and not be weary, Nor shall they faint.
