Isaiah 40:28-29

Where do you find strength for competition when you’ve become weary?  Who is your source of power when your legs, arms, back and even your mind is tired?  Today’s scripture suggests an ideal source.

In Isaiah’s book of prophecy at chapter 40 and verses 28 and 29 we read, “Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.  He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”

Isaiah is confident of the power and strength of God.  He knows Him as the Creator of the whole universe, possessed of limitless ability and infinite might.  That builds his confidence as he knows God to be gracious and giving of those same attributes.

Everyone who competes becomes weary and feels a loss of power and strength.  That is the perfect time to trust God and to commit more than ever to your relationship with Him.  He freely gives strength and power.  He delights to do so as we simply ask for it and trust Him to supply all that we need.

In your preparation for competition today, ask God for a transfusion of His power in your body.  Petition Him for a gift of strength and wisdom for your mind.  Pray for and seek more of His love and mercy in your spirit.  He’ll answer you from His limitless supply, right on time.
