We all face days when the weight of our circumstances feels like too much to carry. But here’s the good news: God’s strength is not just a vague hope or a distant possibility. It’s a promise—one that’s meant to be received, not just admired from afar. Throughout Scripture, God’s reputation is clear: He is the Lord who gives strength to His people. Psalm 29:11 says, “The LORD gives his people strength; the LORD blesses his people with peace.” You might be wondering, “If God’s strength is promised, why don’t I always feel it?” Here’s the hard truth: God’s promises are available to us, but they aren’t automatic. Receiving His strength isn’t like a divine download that just happens while we’re on autopilot. There’s a part we play in accessing what God has already made available.

Jesus Christ came to make the invisible God, visible. Since the beginning of time, people have sought to understand their purpose and identity. In essence, they have pondered the questions, “Who am I, and why do I exist?” Looking for purpose in financial success, accruing possessions, relationships, or pleasure will always leave us wanting more.
