Hold on, Help is on the Way!!

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) “He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.”

Did you know that a rope has greater strength than the combined individual strength of the strands that make it up? Why is this? The answer is quite simple. Individual strands have weak spots along them, points at which they easily break. But in a rope, the weak spots are randomly distributed along the length of the rope and the twist in the rope allows the surrounding strands to cancel out the weak spots of the individual fibers.

The same rings true in our spiritual relationship, alone we are weak and unable to be all that God has for us to do; however our lives are incomparably changed when we connect ourselves to the Holy Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God The Holy Spirit.

As believers in Christ we reap many benefits found in the promises of God. It’s important to note these benefits do not always manifest themselves in tangible ways, but they are still valuable to our overall well-being. We must be equally expectant of the emotional, mental and spiritual promises that He also provides.
This especially rings true in this day and age, when we seem to face more and more hardships in our economy, finance, and relationships. In the seasons where we struggle with any of these hardships, it is easy to find yourself in a place of weakness or being depleted of strength in order to go on.

Yet, despite the complexities of life what great joy we find in knowing that God gives us strength to go on, despite what we face. The scripture says He gives power to the weak, meaning God gives us the capacity to keep moving forward with force, although we want to live life at a standstill. Not only does he give us power, but he gives us the ability to be strong when we feel we have nothing left. The power and strength of God can do immeasurably more in our lives than we can imagine, but we must be in a position to receive, activate and walk in it when it comes.

As His children we have the promise that it will come, but we must be willing to walk in it, otherwise we waste these great resources. So when you feel like giving up don’t! Remember Help is on the Way!
