a Lens to Reimagine”
 

🌞Good morning, beloved. Let us awaken our spirits and hearts to the divine strength within us.
Isaiah 40:31 (CSB):
“But those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint.”

Bishop Houston’s Contemplation:
Isaiah’s words in this morning’s focal verse remind us that placing our trust in the Lord renews our strength. When we feel broken or downtrodden, our awakened spirit finds renewal in God’s promises, allowing us to soar above our circumstances.
Beloved, being “broke” often goes beyond financial struggles; it touches our spirit, emotions, and sense of self. Yet, when our spirit is “woke” — aware and connected to God’s love and promises — we discover a strength that transcends our circumstances. Trusting in God renews our strength, enabling us to persevere and overcome.
Our faith journey reveals that God’s grace is our steadfast anchor in times of weakness. We find strength and resilience that defy earthly limitations by embracing our spiritual awakening. This divine support is always available, lifting us beyond the confines of our perceived inadequacies.

Friends, consider the paradox of strength in weakness. In a world that celebrates self-reliance and material wealth, we must tell ourselves that our true strength comes from a “woke” spirit. When we lean into God, admitting our brokenness, we unlock a wellspring of divine strength. Let us not be disheartened by our challenges but view them as opportunities to experience God’s mighty power in our lives. 💪🏽✨

Let Us Go into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:

Heavenly Father, we come before You, recognizing that Your divine strength overshadows our earthly weaknesses. Awaken our spirits, Lord, that we may find unwavering strength in Your grace. May our challenges become testimonies of Your power at work within us. To God be The Glory. 🙏🏾
