GOD GIVES STRENGTH TO THE WEAK

“Haven’t you heard? Don’t you understand? Are you deaf to the words of God, the words he gave before the world began? Are you so ignorant? God sits above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him, He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them. He judges the great people of the world and brings them all to nothing. They hardly get started, barely taking root, when he blows on them and they wither. The wind carries them off like chaff. To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal? Asks the Holy One, look up into the heavens, who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing. O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:21-31

There are many reasons for weakness, physical exhaustion and disappointments is just two of them and there are genuine reasons to be weak in the things we do daily, but our weaknesses will nevert dismiss the grace we have through Christ Jesus or will it diminish the working power of our God in us and through us to accomplish the task He sets before us; it will stop us in any way in keeping faith in His words, from having hope in the power of His presence, following His words, walking to be in obedience to His commands and to do His perfect will for our lives. As we stand before Him every day, as we call on Him every day, and as we present our matters to Him, He has heard us well, seen us clearly and He will definitely answer us, He will grant us progress beyond our weaknesses and He will ensure His promises are fulfilled even when we do not know or understand how those promises will be fulfilled.

Did you know you were made to fulfill a purpose that is bigger than you? Did you know you were called by His divine power to be His own instruments displaying His likeness and image? Did you know there is a divine seed in you that yearning to be in contact with the Almighty God despite your weaknesses, failures, and pains? Like Zerubbabel, you will complete the task at hand that He enabled you to start; you will accomplish the dreams He gave you to advance your life and His purpose; as the children of Israel reached the Promised Land despite the wilderness and the fightings along the way, you will reach the destination He had destined for you to reach. Like David after the anointing by Samuel, you will stand before kings to declare the goodness of our God, and you will praise the God who had preserved your life for the glorious moments in your life that will come. I want you to remember that you were not chosen because you were strong, knowledgeable, and able above all others. You were chosen that through Christ Jesus, you will confound those who say they are wise, knowledgeable, strong and wealthy enough to do the same task before you. Through Christ Jesus, you will get past these weaknesses; you will break the yoke of afflictions and setbacks; you will speak His words with a bold testimony, and you will celebrate His glory in the land of the living.

Because God is with you to accomplish His plans, you will start that which you had stopped; you will have strong roots beyond your strength; you will advance beyond the marks of men for your life; you will stand up strong and you will overcome every act of shame, every form of affliction, and every degree of disappointments. God is calling you by name, trust in Him, He is renewing your strength and you will soar higher. For prayer Click here
