“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.” (Isaiah 40:28)
“The Lord has not exhausted His inventory of creative solutions to our situations.”
This word broke into my spirit as I stood preaching from II Chronicles 20. It continues to resonate within me!
To be involved with God is to be involved with the supernatural! There are creative solutions because He is the Creator God.
King Jehoshaphat definitely needs a creative solution in II Chronicles 20. He has responded to the threat of the approaching military alliance of three kings by summoning all the people to come before the Lord with fasting.
The Lord has responded. The Spirit of the Lord came upon a prophet and the message rings out: “For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” To be involved with God does not mean we will be passive. The instruction continues: “Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you.”
Yes, there are creative solutions because He is the Creator God. King Jehoshaphat and the entire contingent dispatched by the strategy of the Lord must have been amazed at the scene awaiting them.
The Lord set ambushes against the enemy and the three kings systematically destroyed each other. The valley is cluttered with corpses.
The people of the Lord took the plunder…for three days! Their battlefield became the valley of blessing.
The sound of their rejoicing extends back to their celebration in Jerusalem. Praise to their supernatural God reverberates out to the surrounding kingdoms bringing the fear of the Lord. They acknowledged that Lord had very creatively fought for His own.
Allow that anthem of triumph to reverberate into your spirit, too! “The Lord has not exhausted His inventory of creative solutions to our situations.”
When the prophet Isaiah addresses the people of God who are weary in their expectation, the Spirit pulled back the curtain and reveals their God to them as the Creator. (Isaiah 40:28-31).
All promise carriers can identify with the “weariness of waiting”. Yet, as the prophet proclaims, our God is not only faithful, He is also Creator…He never faints, is never weary, is never in decline, and is never subject to a depleted inventory!
He is more than qualified to sustain our expectation and even offers His strength to those who are weakening under the weight (and “wait”) of the promise.
Mounting up with wings as eagles is not really a generic pledge. It is reserved for those who fix their expectation on Him. Allow this unlimited Creator God to minister to you!
On the authority of His Word and unblemished track record, let’s declare it together: “The Lord has not exhausted His inventory of creative solutions to our situations.”
