Isaiah 40:31 KJV — but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

The last way God strengthens me is through His Holy Word. To receive His power and be ready to face my day ahead, I get up early enough to have quiet devotion and prayer time with God. Each morning I read several devotions and it never fails that at least one out of those devotions speaks directly to whatever may be on my mind or whatever battle I am facing. Scripture can encourage and strengthen me when I feel weak. 

Today’s featured scripture is what I call my life verse. This verse has been important to me from early in my adult life. My husband Clark and I both gain strength and comfort from this verse and when we were married we had it inscribed in our wedding bands. It is a verse that I call on when I feel weak or need His power. Do you have a life verse? Do you have a verse that you keep closely tucked in your heart to recall in times that you need His strength? I encourage you to spend some time reflecting and discovering what scripture verse could be called your life verse. Write it down on a note card or in a place you can see when you need a dose of encouragement or strength from God. We would love it if you would share your life verses in the comments so we can all gain strength and power from His word.

Let’s pray. Dear Father, thank You for Your Holy Word. May I always hold on to Your promises for strength in my times of weakness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
