Strength for the Weary by Derek Thomas: Yours for a Gift of Any Amount

Life in this world is not easy. Trials and sorrows strike against us like waves, threatening to knock us from our feet. Where can we find strength to press on when everything seems to be going wrong and we are weighed down with grief?

“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God” (Isa. 40:1). These words open the second half of the book of Isaiah, sometimes called the “Book of Comfort.” When His people endured a time of great suffering and hardship, the Lord reminded them that “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength” (Isa. 40:29). As believers today are tempted to despair in a fallen world, the words of our Father provide security and hope. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isa. 41:10). Christians find strength in the promises of God.
