Candidates for Supernatural Strength

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Isaiah 40: 28-31

Worship song: We've Got The Power

 


Meditation:

    Although exhausted, weary, and faint from fighting, Gideon and his 300 men continue to pursue their enemies. This small, vigilant group, according to Judges 7, used only torches, jars, and trumpets to confuse their enemies' territory, leading to a massive victory. Rather than relying on their human strength they trusted in God's supernatural power. Apostle Paul testified that when he was weak, he was made strong, as God’s power was made perfect in his weakness. He further assures us in 2 Corinthians 12, that the weary find rest and strength in God’s divine grace. 

    We are reminded in Psalm 46, that God is our refuge and strength. Sometimes we get overwhelmed, burdened, and cast down by the cares of life, but we are reminded that there is hope for the weary. Jesus extends an invitation to cast our cares upon Him for He cares for us. He invites the weary to come to Him for rest for He never grows weary and He does not faint. Christ is capable of sustaining us regardless of circumstances. He gives power to the faint and strengthens the weak. Individuals who wait on the Lord and does not rely on their inadequate strength are ideal for God's divine power to be made perfect in them.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we are grateful for the assurance that when we become weary we can find strength to overcome our weakness. We thank you, Almighty God, for the divine strength, comfort, endurance, and courage you provide during difficult times. Father, we surrender our heavy burdens to you acknowledging your power is greater than our challenges. We lay at your feet our limited strength and weaknesses, trusting in your strength alone, knowing that your power will perfect our weakness. During moments of feeling weary and heavily laden, we wait upon you, Lord, to renew our strength, and grant us power to rise above life's challenges. Unto you, O God who can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us we commit our limitation to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a joyful day. 💕🙌🙏

    They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. There are so many circumstances that can weaken us, especially in these latter times but even at our weakest moment we can regain strength because He knows how much we can bear, even when we say no more He says yes we can if we only draw closer to Him. Let us do that. 🙏🙏💪

Keep Your Heart Clean

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 51:7-12 Worship song: Clean Heart   Meditation:      In accordance with safety protocols to prevent illness, it is advisable to regularly sanitize, disinfect, and wash our hands. Equally important is keeping our hearts clean and pure. Our heart, however, does not need physical cleansing but spiritual cleansing. Our heart reflects our true inner nature. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it? Consequently, it requires divine purification.       We must diligently guard and nurture our heart, which is the source of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We must be vigilant and careful about what enters and takes root in our hearts, by preventing negative influences from inevitably shaping our lives. Matthew 5:8 says, Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Although the inner workings of our hearts may remain hidden...

Good morning Scripture reading: Genesis 28:10-22 Worship Song: The Lord My God   Meditation:      Following a divine promise revealed through a dream at Bethel while fleeing from Esau, Jacob made a conditional vow to God. He pledged that if the Lord would be with him, provide protection in unfamiliar territory, sustain him with necessities, and enable him to return safely to his father, he would fully embrace the Lord as his God and consecrate the stones he had anointed as a place of worship. Additionally, he committed to offering a tenth of all his blessings back to the Lord as an act of thanksgiving. The covenant established by the Lord and Jacob's declaration marked the turning point in his life.       Having returned from Haran with substantial prosperity, Jacob honored his vow by building an altar at Bethel. He commanded his household to renounce idol worship, discard all foreign gods, purify themselves, and dedicate their worship t...

The Waiting Room

Good morning Scripture reading: 1 Samuel 1:7-20 Worship song: I Will Wait   Meditation:      Prolonged waiting can often evoke physical discomfort and mental distress, particularly when uncertainty surrounds the wait. Prolonged periods of waiting may lead to increased anxiety, stress, frustration, and emotional exhaustion, especially when the surrounding atmosphere is laden with negativity. Today's scripture provides insight into Hannah's experience in the waiting room. She was deeply distressed by her inability to conceive and the persistent taunting from Peninnah. Nonetheless, her sorrow and barrenness compelled her to seek divine intervention through prayer at the Shiloh Temple.       Hannah encountered uncertainty, doubt, and despair, yet she remained steadfast in her faith, trusting in God's promises. The act of waiting is not solely measured by its duration, but rather by how it is perceived and endured. Waiting upon God can yield ...

Good Morning Scripture reading: James 5:7-11 Mediation song: Be Still My Soul   Meditation:      Patience is a vital attribute that enables individuals to maintain self-control during periods of waiting. It allows us to steadfastly and persistently pursue our long-term objectives, despite encountering various adversities. Although cultivating patience may be difficult, it is an invaluable skill that can be developed over time. This virtue empowers us to endure frustration, illness, pain, provocation, and financial hardships without succumbing to despair or irritability. Those who persevere through difficulties and trust in God's divine timing are better equipped to cope with life's struggles than those motivated by arrogance or anger.       As Ecclesiastes 7:8 reminds us, it is crucial to cultivate patience, depend on God's timing, and avoid the quicksand of pride. Upon reflection, we can recognize the extraordinary patience that Go...
