May We Never Grow Weary

While contemplating Prov. 4:20-23, 2nd Pet.1:12-21, and Isa.40:31 these words came to mind.

Your work of grace You've made us to see
Eyewitnesses now Of Your Majesty.
For by Your Word You've taken us there,
Upheld by Your great loving care.
Your Spirit has borne us all the day long
And caused us to sing now with joyful song.

Oh, what a privilege we're made to become
Partakers of Christ, Jesus the Son.

Who bore all our sins and griefs to declare
The glories of the cross we now bare.
And though now established in this present truth
May we never grow weary as the days of our youth,
But ever increase as we wait upon You,
The LORD God of heaven our strength to renew.

My son, be attentive to my words;
incline your ear to my sayings.
Let them not escape from your sight;
keep them within your heart.
For they are life to those who find them,
and healing to all their flesh.
Keep your heart with all vigilance,
for from it flow the springs of life.


Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have. I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder, since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things.

For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son,[b] with whom I am well pleased," we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

"...but they 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."
