Strength for Today
Strength for the Journey
Scripture
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song.”
— Isaiah 12:2 (KJV)
Reflection
Strength for today does not always come the way we expect. Isaiah 12:2 promises, "Behold, God is my salvation; I will…" — and the Lord's strength is given in measure for the moment, not stockpiled for tomorrow. He gives manna, not warehouses. Today, ask Him for what today needs. He will not run out. The strength He gives is not always the strength to do great things; sometimes it is the strength to endure quietly, to keep loving, to keep showing up, to keep trusting. That, too, is strength of the highest order. Lean on Him. He will be your strength when you have none of your own.
Prayer
Father, be my strength today. When I am weak, hold me up. When I am weary, carry me. Amen.
