Bible in a Year:
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way.
Gods unconditional love is apparent throughout the many weak-kneed moments of the people of Israel and Judah. He sent prophets like Isaiah with messages for His wayward people. In Isaiah 35, the prophet shares the hope of Gods restoration. The encouragement that would come as a result of embracing hope would strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way (v. 3). Through the encouragement they received, Gods people would in turn be able to encourage others. This is why Isaiah instructs in verse 4, Say to those with fearful hearts, Be strong, do not fear.
Feeling weak-kneed? Talk to your heavenly Father. He strengthens weak knees through the truth of the Scriptures and the power of His presence. Youll then be able to encourage others.
What are some of the ways youve been encouraged recently? How will you encourage someone whos facing hard times?
Father, I need Your strength and Your grace today.
