FINDING STRENGTH IN DIFFICULT TIMES (3)
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SATURDAY, 7 OCTOBER 2023
So, the third words of the verse say, “I will strengthen you and help you.” During times of adversity, when our strength wanes and our resolve weakens, these words serve as a beacon of hope and assurance, reminding us of God’s unfailing support and empowerment. When we are weak, God provides us with His strength. He empowers us to endure, to persevere, and to overcome. His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and we can rely on it in times of trouble.
Bottom of FormSCRIPTURE: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” — Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, when God declares, “I will strengthen you,” He assures us of His divine empowerment. It’s an acknowledgment that our own strength may not be sufficient to overcome the challenges we face. However, God’s strength is limitless and unending. He equips us with the courage, resilience, and perseverance needed to endure and triumph over life’s trials. And “I will help you,” signifies God’s active involvement in our lives. He doesn’t merely stand by as an observer; He steps into our circumstances, offering assistance and guidance. In times of confusion, God provides clarity; in moments of weakness, He offers His mighty hand to lift us up. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: “I will strengthen you and help you” is a profound assurance from God that we are not left to face life’s difficulties alone. It’s a reminder of God’s loving presence and His commitment to empowering and supporting us through every trial.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, as we meditate on this promise, may we find renewed confidence, hope, and a deeper connection with God who strengthens and helps us in all things.
PRAYER: O GOD, thank You for Your wonderful promises in Your Word. May we find hope and renewed confidence through them in times of troubles, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord strengthen and help us in times of troubles, and give us peace, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: 2 Cor. 12:9, Isaiah 41:10
