INCREASE YOUR POWER

Isaiah 40:29 says, “[The Lord] gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.”

God gives His strength to those who recognize their need for Him. The Lord does not promise strength to the self-sufficient, the proud, or those who think they can handle everything on their own. Instead, He promises power to the weak and increased strength to those who admit they have none.

The Christian life, especially spiritual growth, is a paradox. To become strong, we must first admit our weakness. This may seem strange because the world teaches us to hide our weaknesses and display our strengths. People often pretend they have everything under control, even when they are struggling inside.

Jesus showed us a different way. He was Almighty God, yet He came into the world as a helpless infant. He was the Ruler of the universe, yet He allowed sinful men to arrest Him and crucify Him. He taught His followers that true greatness comes through humility and service.

In Matthew 20:26, Jesus said that whoever wants to become great must become a servant.
Why is admitting our weaknesses the doorway to experiencing God's strength? Because as long as we depend on ourselves, we leave little room for God to work. When we acknowledge our limitations, we begin to trust His wisdom, power, and guidance. Our weakness becomes the place where God's strength is revealed.

Many people are only honest with God during a crisis. After trying everything else and failing, they finally pray and say, “Lord, I need Your help.” God answers, strengthens them, and carries them through. But once the crisis passes, they return to trusting themselves.

Real spiritual growth happens when we depend on God every day, not just during emergencies. Every morning we should pray, “Lord, I need Your wisdom and strength today. Help me in every situation I face.”

What are some areas of weakness in your life today? Perhaps you struggle with fear, impatience, anger, worry, temptation, or discouragement. Maybe you feel weak in your faith, relationships, health, or finances. Instead of hiding these weaknesses, bring them to God.
Remember this truth: God uses people who are weak enough to lean on Him. He never promised a trouble-free life, but He promised to carry our burdens when we bring them to Him in prayer.

Do not be ashamed of your weakness. Bring it before God. He will replace your weakness with His strength, your fear with His peace, and your limitations with His power.

Prayer: Lord, help me depend on Your strength daily and not on myself alone.
