  15. Questions Challenging us to calculate the greatness of God Challenging us to evaluate our understanding of God Challenging us to realize nothing can compare to the God of the Bible.

  16. Isaiah 40Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,Measured heaven with a spanAnd calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?Weighed the mountains in scalesAnd the hills in a balance?

  17. Isaiah 40:29Why do you say, O Jacob,And speak, O Israel:“My way is hidden from the Lord,And my just claim is passed over by my God”?

  18. D. Renewedstrength

  19. Isaiah 40:28Have you not known?Have you not heard?The everlasting God, the Lord,The Creator of the ends of the earth,Neither faints nor is weary.His understanding is unsearchable.

  20. Isaiah 40:29He gives power to the weak,And to those who have no might He increases strength.

  21. Isaiah 40:30-31Even the youths shall faint and be weary,And the young men shall utterly fall,But those who wait on the LordShall renew their strength;They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary,They shall walk and not faint

  22. II. Leanness of the soul

  23. Psalm 106:13-15They soon forgot His works;They did not wait for His counsel,But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,And tested God in the desert.And He gave them their request,But sent leanness into their soul

  24. A. They forgot

  25. B. They didn’twait

  26. C. They gavein to their desires

  27. Numbers 11Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!”

  28. Numbers 11Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat. You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days, but for a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised the Lord who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, “Why did we ever come up out of Egypt?” ’ ”

  29. D. Leanness

  30. Psalm 106:13-15 (The Message)But it wasn’t long before they forgot the whole thing,wouldn’t wait to be told what to do. They only cared about pleasing themselves in that desert,provoked God with their insistent demands.He gave them exactly what they asked for—but along with it they got an empty heart.

  31. III. Enoughgrace

  32. 2 Corinthians 12:8-10Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
