Something Old, Something New

Old as in Old Testament. The Hebrew Scriptures. Story as in three great stories from 1 Samuel, Jonah, and Isaiah. But not old as in outdated, antiquated, out-of-date. To the contrary! There is gold to be mined from these passages for the living of our days right here, right now.

“Have You Not Heard?”

Isaiah 40:28-31

28 Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
    his understanding is unsearchable.
29  He gives power to the faint
    and strengthens the powerless.
30 Even youths will faint and be weary,
    and the young will fall exhausted,
31 but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.
