The world tells us to focus on our strengths, but Paul reminds us that God’s power is revealed through weakness.

Goliath wasn’t the only giant Israel faced. Time after time, God proved that His power is greater than any enemy, reminding us that His strength—not ours—wins the battles.

Joab reminded Israel’s army that strength is not for self-promotion but for God’s people and God’s kingdom. Real strength is found when we place our battles in the Lord’s hands and trust Him to do what is good.

Whether you’re facing a tough situation today or simply preparing your heart for whatever may come, you’re not alone. You can stand firm, because the Lord strengthens you.

Physical strength may impress, but spiritual strength is forged in difficulty. True power is revealed when we admit our weakness and let God’s strength take over in the moments we feel least capable.

In a noisy world, true strength and clarity come when we choose the sacred stillness of silence—where we wait on God, hear His voice, and are reminded that He alone is our rock and salvation.

Centering on Isaiah 57:15 and Jesus’ tender moment in John 13, this devotion reminds us that God’s presence is both transcendent and intimately near. It offers hope that, while we may not grasp His purposes now, God continually revives and restores us, preparing us for the day when all will become clear.

True strength comes from standing firm in God's ways and reflecting His image, even in our weaknesses.

The early church faced intense persecution, prompting the author of Hebrews to emphasize the importance of maintaining faith and confidence amidst fear and uncertainty.

Achieving Olympic-level success requires not just talent but daily repetition and commitment, much like the daily practice needed to immerse ourselves in God’s word.

The prophet Hanani's rebuke to Asa highlights the importance of maintaining unwavering faith in God, as his eyes are always searching for those who rely wholeheartedly on him.

The essence of Job’s words is this: whatever you are facing today is not the end. Whatever the obstacles, whatever the health crisis, whatever the financial mess, however damaged the relationship, however high the mountain to climb, whatever we face currently, is not the end of our story.

The contrast between worldly success and spiritual sufficiency highlights a recurring tension: while culture often demands excess and perfection, embracing God's sufficiency can lead to deeper contentment and alignment with spiritual values over material achievements.

Jesus paid it all for all time, and nothing and no one can stand in the way of God’s perfect plan for us and for all of his creation.

So, we won’t argue with you. You’re right, and that makes you strong. So . . . how are you going to use that strength?

When the exiles finally heard hope that they one day could return home, maybe the news only overwhelmed them. Isaiah’s message to them can encourage us, too.
