JEHOVAH EMPOWERS THE TIRED ONE

"[Jehovah] is giving to the tired one power; and to the one without dynamic energy he makes full might abound." -Isaiah 40:29.

JEHOVAH is limitless in power.  And what dynamic energy resides in the things he created!  The tiny atom-the very building block of all things-is so small that a single drop of water contains one hundred billion billion atoms.  All life on our globe depends on the energy generated by atomic reactions on the sun.  But how much solar energy is needed to sustain earthly life?  The earth receives only a minuscule fraction of all the energy that is produced by the sun.  Nevertheless, the very tiny fraction is immeasurably greater than the total energy  used in the world's industries.

Whether we think about the atom or turn our attention to the vast universe, we are impressed by Jehovah's awesome power.  No wonder he could say:  "Raise your eyes high up and see.  Who has created  these things?  It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom  he calls even by name.  Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing"!  (Isaiah 40:26)  Yes, Jehovah is "vigorous in power," and he is the Source of the "dynamic  energy" used to bring the entire universe into existence.

Next time: More Than Normal Power Needed
