“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”  Isaiah 40:29 (KJV)

Composed and strong, she stands by her son’s hospital bed.  I was amazed by the strength God was giving my friend whose son was hit by a car.  She cried very little in front of me, however,  I’m sure she had all kinds of feelings inside. The mother of three other younger children, she had to be strong for the rest of her family.  Only God could give her that kind of strength. She refused sleep because she wanted to be there for her son who was on a respirator patiently waiting until the time came for God to take him home.  She had even surrendered her son if it was God’s will to take him home. It takes strength and faith in God to surrender a son knowing that she’ll not see him until she goes to be with the Lord herself someday.  As I stood there ministering to her, I prayed for much strength, wisdom and love.  At times like this, we need supernatural strength from God.  God promises to give power to the faint and to them that have no might He increases their strength.  I marveled at the strength God gave my friend who had to witness her son dying, not sleeping for a day and a half and still holding up with God’s strength. Are you receiving God’s strength today?  It is available for us. We just need to trust, believe, and receive.

“Lord, thank You for the strength You give us when we are faint.  Thank You that You increase strength to them that have no might.  Thank you Lord for always coming through when we receive your strength.”

For His Glory
