The Unsearchable God.....

Isaiah 40:28-29 KJV:
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord , the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

God is really unsearchable. There's no limit to his power, wisdom and strength. There are not enough human adjectives that can fully qualify and quantify the the nature of God and the works of his hands. From the words above, God is described as an everlasting Father. I just see a God who's constantly holding out his hands to his creation. It does not matter how long he is ignored; he will keep knocking and waiting until you either open up or the waiting time expires by his coming. His patience is impeccable, as I'm not sure any man who continue to sustain and uphold something you have created but which exists in rebellion towards you, its creator.
We constantly live our lives like we own them; thinking that our wisdom, power and abilities can sustain us through the journey. But what I have learnt is that God alone is the one who never grows weary. He has been the same consistent God through the ages. His work, methods and results may not be predictable, but his nature is. He doesn't always do things the way we expect but he sure makes certain that we end well.
There's just one lesson though: As long as I feel self-sufficient and capable, I may not enjoy the fullness of God's grace and mercy. If I do not confess my faintness, how do I acknowledge my need for the power of God? If I feel capable and strong enough, how does God's power make any impact in my life? If I desire God's strength, I must plead my weakness and my need for him. No man can come to God and argue from a position of strength. Outside of God, there's nothing in me now that can sustain me through the journey ahead. I need God's power, strength and ability.
God's greatness is seen in the conclusion of the verses above. How does God increase strength for a man with NO might? I though that 0 multiplied by even a million would always result in a 0. But with God, your 0 meeting with God's 'minimum' will result in amazing breakthroughs. The lesson for me here is: all I need is to be available; God will work out the results and the effect, afterall, it is his life, his gifts, his calling and his assignment. I'm just a privileged vessel.
I rejoice in his strength today, because his time of favour is here.
