 Topic: GO IN HIS STRENGTH

"He imparts vigor to the fainting, and those who have no might He increases strength."    - Isaiah 40:29

          The lad stood in the valley holding his simple weapon. His heart beat faster. The earth seemed to shake as his formidable enemy approached him. Could he defeat this giant? Would his weapon prove effective in bringing down the Philistine warrior? He knew from experience that a power greater than himself was behind him. He felt his eyes and his hands guided by this unseen power that had often guided him as he defended his flock on the Judean hills.

          So David steadied himself and, in response to the insults hurled upon him by this heathen war machine, swung his sling and saw the stone aiming straight for the giant’s forehead. The battle was won! The God of David had increased his strength.

          God always comes to the aid of those who are faint and need lifting. It is ironic that when we are the weakest, He is the strongest for us. “My strength is made perfect in your weakness,” He declares {2 Corinthians 12:9}., Every time the people of God needed Him, God was there in all His might. Remember the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night? That was God, shielding His people from their enemies. What a mighty God we serve!

           And then into our own spiritual battlefields, He cones, granting power and grace and the strength of will. He is the author of our faith. What He has begun in us He is able to finish.

          Do you feel weak spiritually? Do the challenges facing you seem insurmountable? Have faith in the power of the Holy One. Ask, and it shall be given to you to be victorious. He is the winner. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. Go forth in His name.
