Whether we’re meeting God for the first time or the eighty-second time there’s a reliable rendezvous available to us. It’s at the intersection of our failing strength, fraying faith, and God’s understanding and power. This crossroad is where God infuses our expiring lives with God’s everlasting-ness; our perpetual weariness with God’s never weariness. This is God’s pattern, to bless us in a place and fashion where we could not boast in anything but God. There’s a rare honesty with God and ourselves that comes with desperation! Somehow, that honesty gets God’s attention. The promise that scripture makes us is that there’s a real-world difference-making power that seeks to renew us. Causes us to soar. And, makes us walk and run without normal natural exhaustion. Somehow, in a place more important than my intellect, I know Isaiah is right.
