Jun-21 The Greatness of the God

He gives strength to the weary, And to him who has no might He increases power. Isaiah 40:29 AMP

Weary and weakness are the side effects of an exceedingly long journey. The truth is that when we allow Him in the journey, He is ensuring the opposite, which is strength and power, in an increasing measure - a seeming paradox. He is filling up again, restoring it to the former levels and supply fully as and when we turn unto Him, because He is The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become tired or grow weary (V28).

Let’s look at the terms of condition to such functionality.

a) Who wait for the LORD, who expect, look for, and hope in Him- Will gain new strength and renew their power- When we rise close to God, like eagles rising toward the sun, we will run and not become weary and will walk and not grow tired. (V31)

b) To let Him Shepherd us because He will gather the lambs in His arm,
He will carry them in His bosom (remarkably close or intimate)- to tend, to guard, to govern, to provide pasture, to defend from danger, as a shepherd does his flock. (V11)

O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to us, His people. Blessed be God!  May He refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak in the Mighty Name of the Lord. Let The greatness of the Lord, make it clear to us by the magnitude of His operations as Creator, by the perfection and self-sufficiency of His knowledge, and by the insignificance in comparison with Him of all that exists. We Pray this, in the Holy Name of Jesus, Amen.

Ps: Ps 68:35: Jer 31:25

τηρήσετε (tērēsete)- you will guard, keep watch over

τηρήσετε (tērēsete)- you will guard, keep watch over Reference: John 14:15 — "If you love me, keep my commandments" — sits at a hinge point in Jesus's Farewell discourse, right before HE promises the Holy Spirit (the "Advocate"/Paraclete). Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
