The Unwearied Runner
In Isaiah the fortieth chapter Isaiah speaks to the nation of
Israel about God’s infinite power and wisdom especially in
contrast to the idols worshiped by the nations around them. In
addressing Israel Isaiah twice introduces his comments by say-
ing, “Have you not known? Have you not heard?” (Isa. 40:21,
28). It is after the latter of these two verses that we read, “Even
the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall
utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on 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.”There is a beautiful song (“Teach me Lord to Wait”) that
incorporates a portion of this Scripture. There is much in this
passage that we need to learn.
First of all we are taught that there is the certainty of weari-
ness and decay for Isaiah tells us that “even the youths shall
faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall.” All
physical life, in the very act of living tends to decay and death.
We may not like it but it is a reality of life. If we are blessed
with a long life we all will pass through three stages, growth,
maturity and decay. These stages pass in rapid succession.
Peter declared in his first general epistle, “All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass
withers, And its flower falls away” (1 Pet. 1:24).
Long before the forces of decay begin to work in the natural
life, labor, sorrow and responsibility make one weary and
ready to faint. Many people become “burned out” and leave
their work and that includes several preachers. In the Bible we
read of those who were faithful men of God who became dis-
couraged and were ready to quit. Elijah was one such. Elijah
had put his life on the line in challenging the prophets of Baal
to determine who was the true God, Baal or Jehovah. It was
Jehovah who answered the prayer of Elijah and sent fire to
consume his sacrifice. The people responded by falling on
their faces and crying out, “The LORD, He is God! The
LORD, He is God!” Everything seemed good until Jezebel
threatened to kill Elijah and caused Elijah to flee for his life.
God came to Elijah and questioned him as to what he was do-
ing. Elijah then answered God saying, “I have been very zeal-
ous for the LORD God of hosts; for the children of Israel have
forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed
Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to
take my life” (1 Kings 19:10). Elijah felt that all of his work
and been in vain, that he had made no difference and he was
ready to quit.
The same type of thing had happened to Jeremiah. He had
preached God’s word to the people to encourage them to turn
back to God but he was repaid by the people trying to kill him,
accusing him of being a traitor to his nation. Again it seemed
to Jeremiah as if all his labor for God had been in vain and so
he was ready to quit. In Jeremiah 20:9 we read, “I will not
make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name." But
His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my
bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.”

To our Deerfoot Family,
David and I can not thank everyone
enough for all the love shown to us since
moving here. But we are especially
thankful for the prayers and thoughts
since Jennifer’s diagnosis. She is doing
well, there are still challenges but with
prayer we will get through these too.
We love you all,
David and Dial Dangar
