25 "To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One. 26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Isaiah 40:25-26
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 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 40:29-31
God is all-powerful. He holds infinite stores of energy within His being. Being the mother of a high-functioning autistic little boy, I have limited amounts of energy. Many days I have no energy. I can rely on God to give me the strength I need to get through the day.
How do I know this is true? When I consider that God created everything from nothing, He must have poured His energy into His creation. Each atom that makes up our world is nothing more than particles of energy. There is so much energy on the earth and in the universe that came from God. That is why creation glorifies God! Humans are the only creatures who have the choice to worship the source of their being or not. Since God created me and gives me strength, then I really do belong to Him and am nothing on my own. God absolutely has the right to demand from me what He wants. As much as I think I can stand on my own, I can’t. I depend on God for everything: my physical needs, my emotional needs, and my spiritual needs. It all comes from him.
No matter what problem we face, we can count on God to give us just the amount of strength we need. All we need to do is ask for it.
