Strength to the Weary

God's words are so precious. They are the divine antidote to what we are in need of; strengthening every area that is weak.

We have times when we feel really strong, yet with a blink of an eye weakness sets in. God is found to be true in times of weaknesses. It is often in those times of weakness that false strength is exposed. God allows us to have the opportunity to experience weakness so that his great and powerful strength may rest upon us. Is 40:29 says, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."

Weakness is the place where we cry out to him for we can't do it on our own. It is what causes us to fall on our knees and cry out to God. It causes desperation - desperation for God. For it is God alone who can carry us.

We are not hidden from the Lord. He cares greatly for us and is concerned about every area of our lives. He does not grow tired or weary, and his ways we cannot understand. But we can choose to trust.

Is 40:31...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Keep putting your hope in the Lord!
