Spiritual Strength

Praise the Lord!

To get physical strength, we need to eat nutritious food. But what can we do to get spiritual strength?

1. Isaiah 40:31 " But those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength".

It's true, when we wait on the Lord, we will get spiritual strength. The other part of the verse is: "they shall mount up with wings like eagles". Think you all know the characteristics of the eagle. The eagle always wants to fly high. It always builds its nest in high places.

Yes, we also when we get the spiritual strength by waiting on the Lord, we can soar like an eagle. We do not have to restrict our abilities. It is God who shapes us. So give yourself to God, He will make you soar. Through His strength, you can do everything.

2. Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you".

When you read this chapter from verse one, you will come to know who is speaking to whom. God is speaking to Israel's people, His children. When we hear God's voice or when God speaks to us, we get the spiritual strength. It is like a father comforting his child when that child is forsaken by everyone else. When the father speaks to that child with comforting words, the child gets strengthened and says "yes dad, I can do it!"

Don't stop after hearing God's voice! You should also be ready to speak to Him. Long for His presence! Don't just seek God once a year or once a month, and then feel disappointed if God does not answer. Speak to Him consistently. Like Jacob who wrestled with the Angel of God until He blessed him, seek God continually.

3. Ephesians 3:16 "... to be strengthened with might through His spirit in the inner man."

Allow the Holy Spirit to strengthen your spirit. He is the great Comforter, who knows what you're going through, and what you will be going through in future. Be sensitive to His leading and get spiritually strengthened.
