He gives strength to the weary...

Isaiah 40:29 "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." I don't know about you but this is very comforting. To know that God loves the underdog, the long shot. Those of us who life seems to have been especially difficult for. With so many people suffering right here, in these Unites States  of America. Hunger, disease of all kinds, financial difficulty of epic proportions, just to name a few. Let's not be weary of doing good. Sometimes this blessing is right around the corner, so to speak. If we endure and do not give up hope in Him to be our shield, our refuge, a very present help in time of need. Some people site this as reason not to follow Him. But He said, "in this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world. Hope is only as good as the One we place hope in. Sometimes God WILL allow more than we can handle to bring us to the end of ourselves, to empty the vessel so He can fill it with something better. But we must stop relying depending only on what we can do, which is finite, and start depending on Him to do what He knows is best for us. His resources are unlimited. The increase in power comes when you look to Him to do what you cannot do, to fulfill needs daily. So try it.  Daily ask, and believe you receive and He will come through in an amazing way. Many times it will be through a person or source you would least expect it to come through. Sometimes He will point out something that needs to change in your life first. You may have to give up depending on the "idol" that has helped you and say, " Okay Lord, you win, I want what You have for me! I am willing to trust that it is better than the thing I am giving up" It is my prayer that God will touch you today in such a way that you cannot help but be grateful for the need you suffered through, because the reward was so worth it. I pray that He you see blessings begin with the first step toward doing it His way. May God richly bless you, my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. And for those who may be sitting on the fence, come down and taste and see that The Lord is good!
