Hello Christians, this is Dallas Beachum. Stand by for good news. Today's good news comes from Isaiah forty and twenty nine. He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might he increases their strength. Let that promise rest in your heart. By midweek many of us feel the weight of the weak clinging to us. The energy we had Monday may be fading. The challenges on Tuesday may still be lingering. And Wednesday often reveals just how human we are. Isaiah forty and twenty nine speaks directly to that moment. It tells us that God does not wait for us to be strong. He does not expect us to power through on our own. He meets us in all of our weakness, not after it, not beyond it, but right in the middle of it. If you feel faint today, if you feel stretched thin, if you feel like your strength is running low, you are exactly the person this verse is talking about. The scripture says He gives power. Not that He encourages you to find your own power, not He helps you discover your inner strength, He gives power, meaning it comes from Him, not from you. This is divine strength, not human strength. It's strength that doesn't depend on sleep, mood, motivation, or circumstance. It's strength that flows from the heart of God to the heart of his people. And he gives it freely. He gives it generously. He gives it intentionally, right when you need it most. Isaiah goes even further. To them that have no might, he increases their strength. God doesn't give help to the tired, He helps the empty. He doesn't just support the weak, He supports the powerless. He doesn't just strengthen the struggling, He strengthens the ones who feel like they have nothing left. If you feel like you're running on fumes today, if you feel like you're giving from an empty tank, if you feel like you're barely holding on, God says I will increase your strength, not replace it, not repair it, increase it, multiply it, expand it. Your lack is not a barrier to God. Your lack is the very place where His power shines. So as you move through this Wednesday, remember this. Your strength is not your source, God is. Your energy is not your foundation, God is. Your ability is not your hope. God is. God does not expect you to carry everything alone. You are not expected to be strong all the time. You are not expected to pretend you're fine when you're not. God gives power to the faint. God increases strength to the weary. God meets you exactly where you are and lifts you up. When you feel tired today, say Lord, you give power to the faint. When you feel overwhelmed, say Lord you increase my strength. When you feel empty, say Lord, be my strength today. Let Scripture carry you, and like Paul, you will look into the face of all your daily problems and say with confidence none of these things move me. I pray the good news today blesses your heart, strengthens your faith, and causes you to have a good day.
