Isaiah 35:3 “Strengthen the weak hands. And make firm the feeble knees”.
My dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life-giving word of the Lord for today is taken from the book of Isaiah 35:3 “Strengthen the weak hands. And make firm the feeble knees”.
Why should the weak hands be strengthened? And why should the feeble knees be made firm?
In this world, a man needs his hands to do his work and his knees to walk and carry out his task. His legs are very important to do his work. So, they need to be firm and his weak hands have to be strengthened. According to God, the essence of this verse is that all necessary things should not be passive or incapable of being used. When the body’s organs become passive, the person’s life too will become passive. He will lose all interest in himself and will fail to do anything in life. So, we need to ask God to strengthen our hands and knees.
Why does the hand become weak?
It may be due to weakness in the body, hands might become strengthless, and thereby will fail to function properly. Sometimes sorcery or black magic is done by some unwanted person who could make the hands and legs passive so that he will not be able to use his organs any further, which were once functioning properly. Sometimes you become very suppressed and inactive due to depression. Then hands and legs become inactive. Sometimes due to aging one’s hands and legs become paralyzed, unfit for further use. Today, let us not focus on how we get such disease and fall into depression. Instead, we will focus on how we can come out of this passive nature of our organs, this paralyzed situation.
How can we operate our hands and legs?
We need the power of God to operate our organs that are passive for various reasons. We need to ask God to strengthen our feeble knees and strengthen our weak hands. When the power of God gets into our body then our paralyzed hands and legs will become active and shall become fit to operate. Feeble knees will become firm and weak hands will become strengthened. You need to invite God to renew and rejuvenate your feeble knees and weak hands. You might have taken all your medication, and treatment but everything has become a failure. What will not be a failure is a spiritual effort. You ask God to grant you firm knees and strengthen your weak hands so that you can work and make your living. Do you know how Bartimaeus the blind beggar called up to Jesus? So, Jesus who was passing by heard his cry and asked him what he wanted. Immediately the blind man asked Jesus to give him sight so that he might work and earn his living. Jesus blessed him with sight, and the blind man received his sight. His weakness was being blind and therefore he was unable to see. So, he sat on the roadside begging. If he had sight, he could have worked and earned his living. Blindness was his weakness. So, he asked Jesus for sight. He did not want to beg anymore. His sight was restored by Jesus.
Today God is giving you a life-giving word, that is He is going to remove the spirit of weakness from your body, God says, “Let not your heart be troubled, do not be afraid, nor be dismayed”. God is delivering you from all restlessness as the verse says “God gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak.”
PRAYER: Our loving heavenly Father, as you said in your word today that “Strengthen the weak hands. And make firm the feeble knees”, we claim it in Jesus Name in our live. Let my children be released from every form of disability, in the body, and heal them. Lord deliver them from all kinds of black magic, sorcery and divination and grant them good health. For the word of God says, if the Son sets you free, then you shall be free indeed. God will release you from all kinds of barriers and liberate you. Perform miracles for them Lord.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
