WITHOUT POWER

READ:

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
-Isaiah 40:29

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 20-22
Mark 13:21-37

In late October 2012, a hurricane-spawned superstorm struck the heavily populated northeastern US, leaving massive flooding and destruction in its wake. During the storm, more that 8 million customers lost electricity. Power outages alone caused shortages of food, fuel, and water, along with the chaos of gridlock transportation. The howling winds and surging waters left many neighborhoods crushed, flooded and choked with mountains of sand. Media coverage of the event reported: "Millions Without Power."
Like a storm of nature, a personal tragedy can often leave us feeling powerless and in the dark. During such times, God's Word assures us of His help: "He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength" (Isaiah 40:29).
At our lowest point, drained of emotional resources, we can place our hope in the Lord and find our strength in Him. He promises us that, for each new day, "Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" (v.31).
God is our spiritual power source in every storm of life. - David McCasland
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home! - Watts

It takes the storm to prove the real shelter.
