He gives power to the faint

He gives power to the faint


" He gives power to the faint ; and to those who have no might, He increases strength." Isaiah 40:29

True Christians are not always the same—they are liable to changes in their frames and feelings.
If they are sometimes on the mount of joy—they are also sometimes in the valley of sadness.
If they can sometimes smile at the storm—at other times the rising billows fill them with anxiety.
If sometimes they feel strong to do and bear—at other times they feel weak and powerless—their courage fails, and their spirits faint.

The Lord gives power to "the faint"—to His redeemed people whose hearts sink . . .
  under the burden of heavy duty,
  under the pressure of great trial,
  under the power of strong temptation,
  under a sense of sin and defilement,
  or, it may be, under the force of several of these combined.

The Lord can lift up such, revive their spirits, and renew their strength! And, blessed be His name, He does it, "He gives power to the faint." He does it . . .
  by a renewed supply of His Spirit,
  by bringing some precious promise to remembrance, and by enabling the fainting one to rest upon it.

Tried believer, trust in your Almighty Savior! "To those who have no might, He increases strength!" He will bear you up—and bring you through!
