Gideon: Weakness--Empowered by God

Isaiah 40:28-31 | Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

  • What evidence of God’s power can we see in creation?

  • Who does God promise to give power and strength to in Isaiah 40:28-31?

  • What must we do to receive God’s strength? [Not sure? Read the first part of verse 31 again!]

  • Do you currently feel weak, weary, or overwhelmed? How can remembering God’s power help? How can you put this passage into action?
