i'm in one of those seasons of my life right now. it's a good season, don't get me wrong. but its also stressful, busy, and tiring. i'm being faced with a lot of huge decisions, (many of them dealing with school) and it seems the deadlines are sprinting in my direction. i almost wish i was back in the days where my biggest worry was if God was going to answer my prayers that my parents would let me have a cat. that's a HUGE thing for a seven-year-old, but it has simplicity i would do almost anything for as an confused 21-year-old college student.
i read a passage last week that very literally brought me to tears. God has brought it to my mind quite a few times since then. it reads:
"Do you not know? have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord,
the creator of the ends of the earth
does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary,
and to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired,
and vigorous young men stumble badly,
yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength;
they will mount up with wings like eagles,
they will run and not get tired,
they will walk and not become weary." -Isaiah 40:28-31
what an encouragement that has been to me in the last week! now, i won't lie, i was unsure of the meaning of the word "inscrutable". i had an idea of what it meant based on the context, but i looked it up so i could know the exact definition. it means "not easily understood; mysterious; unfathomable". i simply love that my Father's understanding is unfathomable! i'm unendingly thankful for that. it is so awesome to me to know that in the midst of my exhaustion and confusion, God has strength for me.
