Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak. And to those who have no might, He increases strength.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, there may be many who are faint because of afflictions. Maybe they do not have immediate deliverance, or their prayers are not answered at once. And their promises may not be fulfilled as they expected. To such people who are depressed and frustrated in life, God gives fresh supplies of spiritual strength. God strengthens their faith and enlarges their views to behold the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living and confirms his blessings and promises of grace unto them. And to those who have no might, He increases strength.
Some people have power, but not to a good extent. To such people, God gives fresh strength as the apostle says,” When I am weak, then I am strong.”They become weak due to their sinful nature, because of their iniquity. To such people God increases the spiritual strength. Sometimes God allows you to go through trials. Through which God wants you to learn, to trust and rely on Him completely for all your needs. God will strengthen you when you are weak. He loves you and cares for you. Trust in Him for all your needs. One word of encouragement is enough to strengthen you, while you pass through a period of trial.
Prophet Isaiah speaks with a special reference to those among God’s people whose faith and hope, were very low, and God would strengthen and support them. Even youth who boast of their strength sometimes fail when God withdraws His support as in the case of Samson. But God promises to renew their strength and they shall grow stronger and soar high like the eagles.
God will enable you also to soar high with power and strength when you truly depend on Him. Increase your faith in Him and you shall experience a great change in your life. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for giving us power and increasing our strength. Help us to rely on You completely for all our needs. Teach us Oh Lord to trust in you at all times. May we endure all our troubles patiently and receive spiritual strength from the Lord. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
