*When You Feel Weak, God Is Strong*

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9

God never asked you to be strong on your own. He invites you to lean into Him, to depend on His grace. His strength is not limited by your limits. In fact, your weakness becomes the perfect canvas for His power.

So if you feel like you’re running on empty today, be encouraged: you’re exactly where *God’s strength can be seen most clearly. He will carry you.*

*Prayer*:
Lord, I admit I’m feeling weak today. But I choose to rest in Your strength, not my own. Remind me that Your grace is enough and that Your power is made perfect when I let go and trust You. I surrender this day into Your hands. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Hebrews 12:1

New International Version

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

*Prayer*:
Lord, help me release my need to control and trust that Your plan is better than anything I could design. Teach me to walk by faith, not by sight. Amen.

"Like a runner with eyes on the finish line, we don’t look back. Every step forward is powered by purpose—because the prize isn’t here, it’s in Him."

The Journey of Journeys...
­
From our Torah portion for this week (i.e., parashat Masei) we read: “These are the journeys of the people of Israel (מַסְעֵי בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל) who went out of the land of Egypt...” (Num. 33:1). The sages ask why the word “journeys” (plural) was used here, since only the first journey – from Rameses to Sukkot – literally marked “yetziat mitzrayim,” the going out of Egypt – and all the other journeys were outside of Egypt, in desert regions. They answer that the journey out of Egypt goes beyond the physical land into the spiritual - an exodus from captivity to the world into the realm of the spirit. As has been said, it took the LORD 40 days to get Israel out of Egypt, but it took 40 years to get Egypt out of Israel... The “journey out of Egypt” is therefore a journey of smaller journeys that leads to the full consciousness of deliverance.

Along the way we are repeatedly tested. The “desert experience” reveals what is hidden in our hearts... The murmuring and rebellion of the Israelites in the desert is our own, and our challenge is to find healing from our fears. Anger, doubt, boredom, cravings, and outright rebellion are symptoms of a deeper problem, and to change we must first confess our inner poverty, neediness, and emptiness (James 5:16). When we stop making excuses we can learn to trust in God’s provision for our lives; we will taste of the heavenly manna and be satisfied; we will be delivered from our fears by be filled with God’s love. The impulses that sought to lead us away from God will no longer be able to pretend to be the truth, since God’s peace and love will direct the heart. We will begin to take hold of the promise...

Be encouraged my fellow sojourners walking by faith through the desert of this present world. The Torah uses a repetitious expression, "Sanctify yourselves and you shall be holy" (הִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם וִהְיִיתֶם קְדשִׁים) (Lev. 11:44) because when we make a sincere effort -- no matter how feeble at times -- to draw near to the LORD, He will draw near to us (Zech. 1:3; James 4:8; Psalm 145:18).
