KEY VERSE
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped.” — Psalm 28:7
INTRODUCTION
There are moments in life when human strength fails: when emotions are drained, resources are exhausted, and courage seems depleted. It is in these moments that God reveals Himself not just as a helper, but as our strength.
Divine strength is not the absence of weakness; it is the presence of God’s power working through our weakness. In this season of signs and wonders, God is calling His people to stop relying on human energy and to draw strength from His unlimited supply.
MESSAGE
God never intended for us to live the Christian life by our own strength. From the beginning, His design has been that His people depend fully on Him. The prophet Isaiah declared, “He gives power to the faint, and to them that have no might He increases strength.”
Divine strength is released when we acknowledge our limitations and depend on God’s sufficiency. The Apostle Paul learned this truth when he cried out to God in weakness, and the Lord responded, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”
When you lean on God’s strength:
- Weariness is exchanged for endurance.
- Fear gives way to courage.
- Pressure turns into perseverance.
God’s strength enables you to stand when circumstances are heavy and to keep moving forward when everything around you says stop.
This divine strength is renewed daily. It is accessed through prayer, worship, the Word, and communion with the Holy Spirit. As you wait upon the Lord, He renews your strength, lifts you above discouragement, and empowers you to run your race with endurance.
CONCLUSION
You were never meant to carry life’s burdens alone. God’s strength is available to you every moment you need it. When you rely on Him, He becomes your source, your support, and your sustainer.
This is your season to rise above fatigue, discouragement, and limitation. As you lean on God’s strength, you will walk, run, and soar according to His divine purpose.
