His Power For Your Weakness!

Matt 11:28-30

28 Come to Me, all you who labor (are wearied) and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

NKJV

Isa 40:29-31

29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 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.

NKJV

My Comments:

It should be a known fact that the more weary or tired we are, the less effective our immune system is likely to be; thereby leaving us exposed to more types of sicknesses and disease. Experts have advised that we should take time off to relax and not allow ourselves to get too tired in order to avoid having a poor immune system.

We have to note that Man is a 3 part being; he has a spirit, a soul and a body. We stand by the theory that our soul comprises of our mind, our will and our emotions. You can be in a state of relaxation physically and yet have your mind, will and emotions working overtime, which would still have a negative impact on your immune system irregardless of your physical state of activity. Stress can be in any form, whether it be physical or mental.

God has given us a far better way. Like He said to the multitudes, just go to Him, and He will give you rest! He promised that when we go to Him and just learn to follow Him, we'll find rest for our souls.

Therefore when Jesus said that we'll have rest for our souls, in essence He was saying that we'll obtain rest for our mind, our will and our emotions. A state in which even if we engaged ourselves in physical activity, we'll still be at rest, His rest!

Not only that, Isaiah spoke of the Lord that He gives power to those who were weary, and that He increases strength to those who have no strength. (Isaiah 40:29) Even youths and young men will eventually fall and give out as a result of weariness, but those who choose to go to God and wait upon Him, they are the ones who will keep going on, not on their own strength but on the strength of God!
