Here we find a major truth we must all hear and know about ourselves:
We will be faint and grow weary.
We will fall EXHAUSTED.
Knowing this to be true, how shall we respond? Take more vitamins? Work out? Get more sleep? That may help for a moment, but the fact remains YOU AND I ARE FAINT AND HAVE NO MIGHT! The very things that weigh us down are weighing us down because we are carrying them.
So, what shall we do?
Depend on the One who is dependable! Lean on the one who does not faint or grow weary.
If we will faithfully trust Him with our burdens, what will the Lord do?
He will give you power! Do you think God intends to increase YOUR power, that which has already grown faint, or do you believe God intends to give you His power that never diminishes? Which would you rather have?
As He gives you His power, He provides you with His potential in your life.
So, you will either rely on yours and grow weary or rely on His and walk in His power.
For the one who has no might, He will increase your strength!
Your "might" is the ability to control the environment and those around you. (No one has might)
Notice, in difficult circumstances, God does not increase your ability to control the situation or the people causing you pain - God gives you strength instead.
Strength is a force that has potency to accomplish its intended purposes.
Did you hear that? In your weariness, He does not snatch you away to a place of comfort,
nor does He let you control the situation!
He strengthens you to accomplish His will through the situation!
May He be glorified through our weariness!
