Beloved in Christ,

 

Happy New Month!

With hearts full of gratitude and praise, I warmly welcome you to the blessed month of May 2025 in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us lift our voices in thanksgiving to the Almighty God, who has graciously carried us through the previous months and has brought us safely into this new season of divine empowerment and renewal. Indeed, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” (Psalm 103:2).

This month, our meditation is anchored in the comforting and reassuring words of Isaiah 40:29a – “He gives power to the weak.” What a powerful reminder that no matter how fragile or fatigued we may feel, our God is a source of endless strength. His power is never depleted, and His grace is always sufficient for those who call upon Him.

As children of God journeying through life’s ups and downs, there are times when we become weak—physically, emotionally, spiritually, or even mentally. Prolonged battles, discouragement, unanswered prayers, burdens of responsibility, personal failures, and spiritual dryness can all wear us down. The demands of life and ministry often stretch us beyond our natural capacities. But thanks be to God—we are never left without help! In our moments of weakness, He steps in. He does not condemn us for being weak; rather, He empowers us.

Isaiah 40:29 assures us of God’s divine supply for our human insufficiencies. When we are weary, He is willing. When we are empty, He is overflowing. When we fall short, He fills the gap with His supernatural strength. The promise is not reserved for the strong or mighty—it is especially for those who feel weak and inadequate.

But how do we access this divine strength? The secret lies in waiting upon the Lord. Verse 31 of Isaiah 40 proclaims:

"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”

 

To wait on the Lord is not to sit passively, but to actively trust, seek, and abide in Him. It means persistence in prayer, abiding in His presence, persevering through trials, staying focused on His purpose, and walking with patience. As we wait in faith, the Lord exchanges our frailty for His strength. Like an eagle that soars effortlessly by riding the wind currents, we too are lifted above life’s storms when we rely on the wind of the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, God is calling us this month to surrender our weakness and trust in His power. Do not be discouraged by the weight you are carrying. Instead, bring it to the One who promises to renew your strength. Whether you're a parent, student, worker, leader, servant of God, or caregiver—His power is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Let this month be a season of spiritual renewal. Set aside time to wait in His presence, meditate on His Word, and commune with Him in prayer. Be encouraged—your strength will be renewed, your vision refreshed, your heart revived, and your steps realigned with divine purpose.

As we walk through May, may the Lord empower you with fresh grace, supernatural strength, and steadfast faith. When you feel faint, remember: He gives power to the weak. Rise with hope, and move forward in the strength of the Lord!

“The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)

May His presence go with you and His power rest upon you this month and always.

Happy New Month!

In His Everlasting Strength,
