9/22/2010 - Isaiah 39:29-31, 41:10 Hope For The Weak

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 39:29-31 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

OBSERVATION: Who does God give strength and power to? The weak and the powerless. There is no shame in admitting that you are weak--it is an invitation to His strength to renew you. Even young men (that means all of us) can find ourselves at the end of our strength sometimes. Don't deny it. Don't pretend that it is not true. But come to God and seek for the renewal that we all need from time to time.

APPLICATION: I am feeling a little tired and weak right now. I need to be renewed. These verses really talked to my heart and reminded me that it is OK to be tired, to feel weak and discouraged. Yet, here is what He is promising me: He is with me, I don't have to be afraid, He is my God, I don't have to feel discouraged. He is promising to strengthen, help and lift me up. I need to run to Him.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to receive all of this from You. I really need it today!! Lift me up. Bring me out. Do good things on my behalf.
