A Daily Devotion for Thursday, August 19

Isaiah 40:29

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

It is difficult for me to use God as an example when I think about being generous. He is God, after all. He has given us everything, our very lives. I cannot possibly be generous in the same way, can I? But I was created in God’s own image. The Holy Spirit lives in me. I do not have God’s supernatural powers, but sometimes my generosity could lead to similar results, couldn’t it? Can I be generous enough to give strength to the weary, and power to the weak?

Holy Lord, you are God of all creation, the maker of the heavens and the earth. You are generous beyond my understanding. Help me to see opportunities to be generous, to utilize the power you have given me, to be part of a positive change. Amen
