God is the Everlasting God!

One of my most favorite songs is Everlasting God By Lincoln Brewster. I love that the chours of the song is almost directly the words of the bible from Isaiah 40:28-31 (New Living Translation):

28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. 29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.


Words of the song:


Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord

Our God,You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary

Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary

You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

I love the 30 verse; Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. That verse is so true in my life! There are many times I feel so weak and tired, like when I am at school, and have so much homework to do. I get so tired of doing mindless homework and its exhausting! There are some much more that I could be doing instread of studing! I really don't do that much homework, but every once in a while, I get a load of it. It seems like all the teachers are gaining up on us kids and loading us down with massive amouts of work!

God is the everlasting God! He knows what we are going through in hard times, even in times where it seems as if our world is falling appart or even if its just a bad day. You will get through it! Pray to God and he will comfort you!
Don't grow weary of living your life for Christ because you may think that God must be putting you through a hard time for a reason. There is a reason for everything, God maybe testing you to see how you react. Go to him in such a time.

Oh yes, I also wanted to share a YouTube video from Lincoln Brewster talking about how how he came to play Everlasting God and some background on the song:
