Do Not Get Ahead of God

•  You’re watching KCMI TV. Well, let’s get into the word of the Lord today. And uh early this morning, I was I really didn’t have a leading and I went to the Lord in prayer. I said, “God, what do you want me to talk about today?” And uh God brought this verse to my mind and it’s a familiar verse.
• Uh they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. This is out of Isaiah uh chapter 40. But I want to go back to some preceding verses and we’re going to start in verse 28. Says, “Hast thou not known and hast thou not heard the everlasting God?” I like that. Everlasting. He’s not temporary. The Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth.
• It’s interesting the different uh nouns that God has put in this verse to describe himself. Everlasting God and the ends of the earth and the creator. Uh he fainth not neither is weary and there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint, to them that have no might. He increases their strength. Even the young or the youth shall faint and be weary, and young men shall utterly fall, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
• They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They’re going to run and not be weary. And they are going to walk and not faint. And uh I think one of the hardest things uh for me to learn and I’m sure for many of you in your walk with the Lord is learning not to get ahead of God. Because when you get ahead of God, now God is not leading, but you are.
