New strength for the journey!

God is our source of strength. Throughout our journey in life, we will experience many trials and disappointments. We must learn to encourage ourselves in the Lord (1 Samuel 30:6), because He is our source. Many trust in the strength of their youth, only to be let down as they age. It is then that they realize that their physical strength will only take them so far. However, God gives strength to anyone who trusts in Him, regardless of their age. Isaiah 40:29 says: “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.” Psalms 18:32 in the King James version says: “It is God that girdeth me with strength.” The word “girdeth” also means: equips, encircles, gives, wraps, arms, clothes and fills. So today, God is reminding us that if our strength has been depleted, we can ask Him and He will gird, equip encircle give, wrap arm, clothe and fill us with new strength. Be strengthened today!

Isaiah 40: 29-31He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Strength for the new year!

For many, the end of the year is a very special time. It’s a time to reflect on what one accomplished during the year. It’s a time to plan the new year. However, for many, it is a time when they find themselves weary because of all that they endured throughout the year. There are those who have no strength to welcome and embrace the new year. The prophet Isaiah has a word for you today: Isaiah 40:31 says But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” There is strength for you today. Ask the Father, and you shall receive new strength. You are not alone. He is with you. He never leaves you nor forsakes you. It’s time to allow God’s anointing to fill you to overflowing, and endue you with new strength for the journey. God did it for the prophet Elijah when he was depleted due to the battle he had with the false prophets. Just like He did for Elijah, He will do it for you.

Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary,”
They shall walk and not faint.
