When your trials weaken who you think you are, where do you find strength again? “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:30-31). Are we putting one-hundred percent of our hope in what the Lord says? Or what others says? Are we finding our strength in a finished to-do list? Or do we appreciate the small victories? The Lord is proud of us for seeking Him and spending time with Him today. Pray for the Lord to renew your strength as you go through these trials. It is helpful to remember that when we are at our weakest, God still works mighty miracles through us. We may be mentally and physically weak but, we can be spiritually strong. Consider the following verse: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16). As your dependency on God grows, so does your faith. As your faith grows, so does your strength. Remain confident and realize that trials, injury, pain, and hurt doesn’t necessarily make you weak. Meditate on scriptures that focus on strength today. You may feel physically weak, but you can find your strength in Christ. Don’t wait for your feelings to catch up with the Lord’s truth. Choose to believe in a Lord who will increase your power and strength. Prayer: Lord, thank You for being my strength. I am choosing to find hope in You instead of circumstances outside of my control. I trust You, thank You for being proud of me, and renewing my strength daily. Amen. We only get one life (here on earth!) and we need to do what we can to glorify God in it, regardless of our circumstances. (Rest Ministries) How we handle our different trials can be a great witness for our Lord. How are you handling yours? Do people see Christ in you during the good as well as the bad???
