Daily Devotion:
"Take Hold of His Strength..."
Isaiah 27:5
New International Version
5 Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me.”
Isaiah said, “Take hold of His strength.” When you make this declaration, “I can handle it," that's not just being positive. You're taking hold of strength. When you say it, you're getting stronger. That's why the Scripture says, “Let the weak say, 'I am strong. "Don't be always talking about the problem, saying, “I can't stand this job.” This professor is so difficult. I'll never pass his course.” “My loved one didn't make it. I don't know what I'm going to do.” All that does is drain you. When you talk defeat, strength is leaving. Energy is leaving. Creativity is leaving. Don't let those things overwhelm you.
No matter what comes your way, you can handle it! You are ready for it and equal to it. If you will stay in agreement with God, He will take what is meant for your harm and use it to your advantage. That difficulty won't defeat you. It will promote you into the life of blessing and victory He has in store for you!
