Isaiah 40:29-31 (29) He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. (30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: (31) 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. 1/ What the LORD gives to the faint and those who have no might. 2/ The way to receiving from the LORD - wait upon him. 3/ The effect - Their affections rise upwards - They run in the way of the LORD with delight and pleasure. - They continue in the ways of the LORD - an abiding effect. *Sermon summary:* The sermon emphasizes the Lord's provision of strength and renewal for the faint and powerless, drawing heavily from Isaiah 40. It highlights the importance of recognising God as the Creator and eternal source of power, It explores the nature of spiritual weakness—stemming from sin, chastening, and the ongoing fight of faith—and highlights the importance of waiting upon the Lord through prayer, embracing the means of grace, and persevering in service. Ultimately, it promises a transformative experience of renewed vigour, raising affections above, enabling them to run in the way of the Lord's commands and continue in the Christian walk.
