How great is our God! It is by His power and strength that we are able to live for Him. There have been times in my life that all physical strength seemed to be gone. As I looked to Him who NEVER grows faint or weary, I am always reminded that He can give me the strength that I need.
I can remember during the entire birth of our second son I had a worship tape being played and right when he was being delivered “I Exalt Thee” by Phil Driscoll was playing. I was feeling totally exhausted right before our son was born yet quietly in the background I could hear Phil Driscoll speaking the following words and those words infused me with strength and joy in a time in which my body needed strength to deliver a our son.
“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God,
the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.”
Isaiah 40:28 (KJV)
Then as our son was taking his first breath I can remember hearing the beautiful words being sung from the song entitled “I Exalt Thee” softly playing in the background…
” For Thou O Lord art high above all the earth
Thou art exalted far above all gods
For Thou O Lord art high above all the earth
Thou art exalted far above all gods
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee O Lord
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee O Lord”
To this day when I hear this song, my heart and mind are reminded of the Lord God being my strength when I needed it desperately. I love testimonies like this that I can reflect and look back on for they truly encourage my faith. Today, let us exalt Him in our hearts as we give praise to Him that never tires nor grows weary of anything. He is the everlasting God!!
