God who created you never faints

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

The God who created you never faints. In our daily life we become too tired and weak. When you face trials or problems you become weak and faint. In particular in case of financial needs we are totally drained. When things go wrong and against your expectation you are exhausted. Whenever you become tired and weak physically you are backsliding in your spiritual life also. Elijah was a great prophet. He was righteous in the presence of God. And he proved that the Lord is God. Despite this fact he also fainted when he heard Jezebel. This particular weakness made him feel that his life is not worth living. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.(1Kings 19:4-5). Beloved one of the weapons of the Satan is make you feel weak and helpless. The God you worship never faints, never sleeps, like wise you should never be fatigued. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.(Isa 40:29). Are you doing things which are not pleasing to God? Are you disobeying God? Do you find it difficult to be relieved from sin? If so there will be defiantly a weakness in your spiritual life. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.(Ps 40:12). As the people of God it is your primary duty to go to the presence of God when ever you find yourself in a weak situation. If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.(Pro 24:10).

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: (Heb 12:5). God always wishes that His children should abide with Him always. But on the contrary you are always moving away from Him. You act according to your own will and pleasure not having least fear of God; therefore you stray away from God. There is no purity of heart and mind in you which is also diverting you away from God’s will. The love of world and love of money and flesh separates you from the love of God. God intends to get you back to Him. In fact He permits sufferings in your life and expects at least to get over the sufferings you will come back to him. When you are chastised and corrected by God do not faint. If you are not chastised and corrected you will not be able to realize and relish the love of God. By chastising you and reprimanding you, God loves you more. This truth you must understand and accept. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.(Heb 12:6). God rebukes you because he loves you therefore no harm will come to you. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.(Rom 8:28). God helps you in your trials and tribulations. So do not faint. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.(Heb 2:18). There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.(1Cor 10:13).

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Galatians 6:9
