Needing Strength by David Jeremiah

Tuesday, February 27 Needing Strength    But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. Isaiah 40:31    The church in Philadelphia was doing its best to take advantage of the open door God provided for its ministries. They were keeping His Word and not denying His Name. They had kept the Lord’s command to persevere, but sometimes they felt they needed more strength.

Do you ever feel that way? Turn to the Bible’s great verses about strength and claim them. Remember the prayer in Ephesians 3:16, that God “would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.” Remember the promise Moses made in Deuteronomy 33:25: “As your days, so shall your strength be.” As we are faithful to the Lord—as individuals and as churches—He will always give us the strength we need to bear the burdens He allows and fulfill the tasks He assigns. As we wait upon Him, He renews our strength like that of an eagle. Ask the Lord today for the strength you need. “Fear not! I am with these; O be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.” “How Firm a Foundation”
