He Is Strong: A 7-Day Journey to Finding Strength Amid Your WeaknessSample

HE IS STRONG

A theme weaves like a thread through this hymn: that we are weak, but Jesus is strong. While He experienced many of the “weaknesses” that we do—like when we’re tired or hungry or grieving—He himself is not weak. In the beginning, He was with God and He was God—all things were made by Him (John 1:1, 3). Hebrews tells us that Jesus is “the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature” (Hebrews 1:3). He willingly left His throne to take on flesh, and He obeyed God to the point of death—never giving in to temptation—and after He made atonement for sin, He went back to his throne, seated at the right hand of the Majesty on High (Philippians 2:6-8; Hebrews 1:3). “In Him was life” (John 1:4). In every way, as a creator, prophet, priest, king, shepherd, bridegroom, messiah, and lamb, He exudes strength, goodness, and perfection. Jesus, just like every member of the Trinity, is fully God—all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful. He has ownership of, access to, and ability to use every resource. He is never deficient, He is all-sufficient. And He loves us. He wants to help His children. This is why we look to the Lord for strength.

The strength, hope, and help you’re looking for are found in God, whose promises will cradle your heart with comfort and rest as you walk through life. Yes, you are weak, but you are not alone, lost, unseen, unprotected, or forgotten. At every stage of life, you’re weak, but He is strong.

FIND GOD'S STRENGTH AMID YOUR WEAKNESS
