Tag: Bible verses about God’s strength in our times of weakness

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-3-19

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

When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, we not only gain eternal life, we also gain strength.

People don’t realize how weak we are without Christ in us.

We may think we are strong because of the way we handle ourselves from day to day. But wait until one thing happens that we weren’t expecting and then see how much we need Him.

It’s not that we want anything to happen to anyone, but the Bible specifically tells us that in this world there will come trials and tribulations. But it does not say we will overcome them on our own.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

It specifically says that He has overcome them, and if we are His children, we too will overcome them as we walk in His wisdom and strength.

We are weak without Him. But the good news is that He gives power to the weak! He increases our strength!

Have we ever been going through a tough time, yet we can still smile and be an encouragement to someone?

People may not understand how we could have joy in the midst of a storm or help someone else when we ourselves are going through some things. But that is the strength that He gives us in our weakest moments.

He is good! Eternal life is the most precious gift anyone could ever be given. But that is not all that He gives us. He cares enough to help us here on earth before we reach heaven, and He increases our strength as well.

When we receive Christ as our Savior, He sets us free from sin, gives us eternal life with Him, and gives us strength when we are weak. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-18

Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

How many of us try to be strong at something in particular, and time after time we fail?

We think, “oh, maybe next time we will get it right”. We keep trying and we make an honest effort, but still to no avail.

There is a reason we keep failing. But we can’t let it discourage us. We just need to get understanding, so we can get it right. So here’s what most of us need to change.

We need to let God be our strength. It is in our weakness that His strength is made perfect.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

So, we can’t give up and look down on ourselves. Be encouraged today and let Him be our rock.

These things we keep battling with are the very things that we need His power, might and strength if we are to conquer them.

Be strong in the LORD and win! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-18

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God has told us that His strength is made perfect in weakness. Praise God…it’s made perfect!

He can turn our weakness around with His strength.

We need to recognize our weaknesses first, and instead of waiting to go to God until we get them right or fixed, we need to run to Him with them immediately.

Most times, our very weakness will keep us from going to Him. But it’s because of our weakness that we should go to Him.

We may try over and over again to make things right. It could take us some time and we may still never get it right, only to end up right where we started again.

Weakness can’t fix weakness. But strength can fix it and get rid of it for good!

God has the strength we need to fix the weakness within us. And His strength is made perfect in our weakness. We’ve got the weakness, and we need His strength to fix it completely and get rid of it for good.

Go to Him, talk to Him about our weakness. Lay it all out and get His strength working in us.

Getting rid of the weaknesses in us may take some time. God will work on us and in us.

Don’t give up or get discouraged if we don’t feel change right away. Have faith in God and what His word says.

Be patient and keep following His steps. His strength will eventually become evident where we were once weak.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-17

Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV) 10 Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

We can lose our joy from seeing things go wrong, or if we’re seeing things happening that we can’t fix. Sorrow can also cause us to lose our joy.

Losing our joy will weaken us.

So, in order to keep it, we have to learn to take those things that are out of our hands, that we are concerned about or are weighing heavy on us, and trust God with it all.

That’s right. We have to learn that trusting Him will keep our JOY in the Lord “strong”.

Sometimes we are hit with some pretty hard and devastating things. Last year my dad, at 81 years of age, all of a sudden was having an emergency operation on his heart.

At first, they planned on putting a stent in one of his arteries to his heart. Then, as they attempted to do this procedure, they found more problems and couldn’t do the stent.

He then had to have a triple bypass. Immediately prior to the bypass surgery, they had planned on repairing his carotid artery, which was 99% clogged.

While on the operating table, his heart actually stopped beating and they had to revive him. But, by the hand of God, he came through all of that.

Shortly after all that, he was diagnosed with cancer.

It was one thing after another. My mind and body could not take it. It hit hard and fast. Bad news after bad news, surgery after surgery will do that to us.

Not only was I feeling it, but my Mom was needing me as well. All I could do was completely lean on God. I stopped thinking “what if” or “what can I do” and I literally dropped in God’s arms. I just had to take my mind off it all and take it one day at a time. That was all I could handle.

Thank God He was there to catch me. And He will catch you too!

In the midst of the storm, He carried me. And His joy was with me and we all made it through, including my Dad. Praise be to God!

If you’re battling a storm right now, and it’s hit after hit, my words to you are to just “drop” in God’s arms and let Him catch you. Stop thinking about it. Stop talking about it and let His joy grip your heart and bring you through it.

Then and only then will we be able to endure the storm and come through it with victory.

Our prayers are with you. God is good!

Let His joy strengthen you.

BIble Verse of The Day – 12-27-16

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

God’s grace is sufficient.

It doesn’t matter what we’re facing; the loss of a loved one, a financial crisis, a troubled relationship, sin in our own lives or anything else that we might come up against. His grace is sufficient.

Sufficient: enough to meet the needs of a situation

What are you dealing with today? What kind of situation are you facing that requires God’s grace in your life?

As we face those things that test us and show us our weaknesses, that is when we realize the need for God’s grace, and the fact that our weaknesses require His strength.

So don’t let your troubles wear you down or break you. They will if we let them. But it’s up to us to let God use those hard times to build us and strengthen our faith in Him.

And remember… no trial lasts forever. No season lasts a lifetime. Dark times come, but they also go. So hold fast to your faith and lean on Him. Joy is coming!

Psalm 30:5 (NKJV) 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.
