He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Thoughts on This Verse....
Even the most pumped up and positive ones of us find ourselves broken and weary at some point in our life. It isn't so hard to believe and follow Jesus when we are soaring on the wings of eagles or running and not getting weary in our walk with God. Often the toughest time to keep our faith vibrant is when we are trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other while not fainting. In those moments of absolute powerlessness, weakness, and brokenness the Lord is often most real, most powerful, and most present.
My Prayer...
Thank you, God, for sustaining me and keeping my faith alive when I have been under attack from the Evil One and have grown weary with the challenges and hardships of life. Please give those I love, and mention now by name, the strength to press on even though they are weary and weak. Please be real in their lives and let them know that you are coming with grace to help and redeem as their Great Deliverer. In Jesus' name I ask it. Amen.
General quotations
. Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going, don’t stop.
. Jealousy comes from counting others blessings instead of our own.
. Always be good with the good, but never be bad with bad, because we can shape a diamond with diamond, but we can’t wash mud with mud.
. Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.
Glimpses of Heaven
I imagine our first glimpse of Heaven will cause us to gasp in amazement and delight. That first gasp will likely be followed by many more as we continually encounter new sights in that endlessly wonderful place. -Randy Alcorn
Made to last forever
This world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do will of God, you will live forever. - 1 John 2:17 (NLT).
Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever. The deeds of this life are the destiny of the next. We should be “realizing that every moment we spend away from our eternal home in heaven with Jesus” (2 Cor. 5:6). Years ago a popular slogan encouraged people to live each day as “the day of the rest of your life.” Actually, it would be wiser to live each day as if it were the last day of your life.
Matthew Henry said, “It ought to be the business if every day to prepare our final day.”
