When we read the story of Isaiah, we read about a man who had plenty of hurts and disappointments to face in his life. Isaiah was just trying to follow God’s plan for his life by prophesying about the fate of Israel, the future Messiah who would come to save His people, and trying to turn toward a life that would glorify God. Unsurprisingly, many did not take kindly to the things he said. Now, if we found ourselves in Isaiah’s shoes during this time, the idea of upsetting so many prominent people would probably be incentive enough for us to sit down and stop talking. But Isaiah knew that what he was doing was for the good of the people, whether they knew it or not. Isaiah knew that if he relied on his strength, he would probably fall into his fear and doubt. Instead, he leaned on what he knew to be true: God wanted him to say what the people didn’t want to hear. But more than that, God would be with him every step of the way. That’s how he found his strength!

Where does your strength come from? If you need a little more strength today, take a tip from Isaiah. Remember that God is ready and willing to provide it for you. All you have to do is ask!
