Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, we not only gain eternal life, we also gain strength.
People don’t realize how weak we are without Christ in us.
We may think we are strong because of the way we handle ourselves from day to day. But wait until one thing happens that we weren’t expecting and then see how much we need Him.
It’s not that we want anything to happen to anyone, but the Bible specifically tells us that in this world there will come trials and tribulations. But it does not say we will overcome them on our own.
John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
It specifically says that He has overcome them, and if we are His children, we too will overcome them as we walk in His wisdom and strength.
We are weak without Him. But the good news is that He gives power to the weak! He increases our strength!
Have we ever been going through a tough time, yet we can still smile and be an encouragement to someone?
People may not understand how we could have joy in the midst of a storm or help someone else when we ourselves are going through some things. But that is the strength that He gives us in our weakest moments.
He is good! Eternal life is the most precious gift anyone could ever be given. But that is not all that He gives us. He cares enough to help us here on earth before we reach heaven, and He increases our strength as well.
When we receive Christ as our Savior, He sets us free from sin, gives us eternal life with Him, and gives us strength when we are weak. Amen.
