THE STRENGTH OF GOD

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.    (Isaiah 40:31)

  Dearly beloved, walking with Lord Jesus is a supernatural experience.

We read the story of Samson in the Book of Judges (13-16). He was one of the judges of the Israelites. He was anointed by God. When the Philistines ruled over the Israelites, he rose up against them. The Lord made him a judge among the Israelites and gave him great strength.

The Philistines wanted to destroy Samson. They told the Israelites, “Handover Samson to us. Otherwise we will destroy you.” The Israelites bound him with two new ropes and handed him over to the Philistines. Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and the ropes on his arms became like charred flax and the binding dropped from his hands.

When evil people rise up against you, do not think that the Lord has forsaken you. The Holy Spirit will come upon you mightily. He will let the world know that you are His child. So be of good cheer. When your enemies come against you, you must rejoice saying, “The Almighty God will descend upon me like the rain.” Then the Holy Spirit will certainly descend upon you and deliver you from all your problems.

The Scripture says, “If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength!” (Proverbs 24:10). When the people for whom you have done good rise up against you, the strength of God will come upon you. So never get perturbed during the time of affliction. It is at such times God will give you the strength to rise up like eagles (Isaiah 40:31). When you walk through a storm in your life, the Lord will go before you and calm the storm. The strength of God will help you to reach your destination safely.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

My strength is only in You. I look to You for strength. I wait upon You for your help. Fill me mightily with the Holy Spirit. Let your strength come upon me. Go before me and calm the storm. Deliver me from my afflictions and bless me. Renew my strength and help me to gain victory.

In Your matchless name I pray.

Amen.
