Faint…
The word “faint” appears 50 times in the Scriptures…14 times in
Isaiah alone …the rest strewn throughout the Word…
Weariness, tired, weakness, let down…demoralized… lacking courage and spirit…faint…sometimes physical….sometimes emotional….
but they who wait for 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.
Isaiah 40:31
to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3
And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
1 Thessalonians 5:14
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Hebrews 12:3
My favorite…He gave it to me when the world seemed so black and I was so weary…I needed it then and have fallen back on this promise in even blacker times…
For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
Jeremiah 31:25
Thank YOU….
