1. The Creator of the ends of the earth (12-28)

The Lord is the Creator of all things. He is all- powerful and all-wise. Before him all nations are like a drop in a bucket. Those who make idols or put their hope in men are fools. God sits enthroned above the circle of the earth and looks down on its grasshopper-like people. He rules over all things. No one taught him, for he is the source of all knowledge. No king or prince or president can hold power unless he is established by the Creator God. He keeps the sun and moon and stars on course by his almighty power. He knows everything--including all about me--and he is the Sovereign God.

2. He gives strength to the weary (29-31)

God never gets tired. When we put our hope in him, he gives strength for every task he gives us to do. Human strength, no matter how powerful it may seem, always runs out; but those who put their hope in the Lord will soar on wings like eagles.

Application: Lord, my hope is in you. I do not ask for easy tasks, but strength sufficient for the day.
One Word: Hope in the Lord
