  SPEAKER_00: Hello Christians, this is Dallas Beachum.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: Stand by for good news.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: Today's good news comes from Isaiah forty and twenty nine.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have no might he increases their strength.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Let that promise rest in your heart.

  SPEAKER_00: By midweek many of us feel the weight of the weak clinging to us.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: The energy we had Monday may be fading.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: The challenges on Tuesday may still be lingering.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: And Wednesday often reveals just how human we are.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: Isaiah forty and twenty nine speaks directly to that moment.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: It tells us that God does not wait for us to be strong.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: He does not expect us to power through on our own.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: He meets us in all of our weakness, not after it, not beyond it, but right in the middle of it.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: If you feel faint today, if you feel stretched thin, if you feel like your strength is running low, you are exactly the person this verse is talking about.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: The scripture says He gives power.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Not that He encourages you to find your own power, not He helps you discover your inner strength, He gives power, meaning it comes from Him, not from you.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: This is divine strength, not human strength.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's strength that doesn't depend on sleep, mood, motivation, or circumstance.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's strength that flows from the heart of God to the heart of his people.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: And he gives it freely.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: He gives it generously.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: He gives it intentionally, right when you need it most.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_00: Isaiah goes even further.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: To them that have no might, he increases their strength.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: God doesn't give help to the tired, He helps the empty.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't just support the weak, He supports the powerless.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't just strengthen the struggling, He strengthens the ones who feel like they have nothing left.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: If you feel like you're running on fumes today, if you feel like you're giving from an empty tank, if you feel like you're barely holding on, God says I will increase your strength, not replace it, not repair it, increase it, multiply it, expand it.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Your lack is not a barrier to God.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Your lack is the very place where His power shines.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: So as you move through this Wednesday, remember this.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Your strength is not your source, God is.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Your energy is not your foundation, God is.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Your ability is not your hope.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: God is.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: God does not expect you to carry everything alone.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: You are not expected to be strong all the time.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: You are not expected to pretend you're fine when you're not.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: God gives power to the faint.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: God increases strength to the weary.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: God meets you exactly where you are and lifts you up.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: When you feel tired today, say Lord, you give power to the faint.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: When you feel overwhelmed, say Lord you increase my strength.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: When you feel empty, say Lord, be my strength today.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Let Scripture carry you, and like Paul, you will look into the face of all your daily problems and say with confidence none of these things move me.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: I pray the good news today blesses your heart, strengthens your faith, and causes you to have a good day.
