STRENGTH FOR EVERY MOMENT (T.D. JAKES)

POWER TO THE WEAK

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength (Isaiah 40:29).

The Bible says that God "gives power to the weak [faint], and to those who have no might He increases strength" (Isa. 40:29). He is saying, "I won't kill you because you fainted or are weak. I give power to the weak."

     When you start losing the strength you once had, you are fainting. When you can hardly stand up and you begin to stagger in the throes of sin, lust, envy, and strife. God declares, "I give power to you!"

     If you have looked inside yourself and cannot muster the strength to get up, God says, "I will increase your strength."

     God will not only raise you up, but He'll give you enough power to pull yourself up if you stumble again. He won't help you so you can be handicapped the rest of your life. No. He gives power to the faint, and to those who are weak He gives strength.

     Are you weak with no willpower, no strength, no ability within yourself to resist the enemy? When your body gets tired, remember God and His strength. When satan begins to attack you, remember the power of God residing within your innermost being. Remember that God does not faint or grow weary. In fact, the Holy One does not even sleep.
