To the faint, he giveth power

​​He Giveth Power! It’s another one of those phrases informed by the KJV translation that worked its way into a salvation history song. In 1920, Anna Waterman wrote the song “Yes I know”. There is a scripture (KJV) that has that exact phrase (Isaiah 40:29-31). God is near to the broken hearted! Both the Scripture and the song affirm a God who has a higher grander purpose than personal circumstances may seem. He is literally bigger than all our problems!  If you are struggling today, know that the same God that made the world, is aware of your difficulty. He wants to lift you up and encourage you. His mercies are truly new every morning. Even in the New Testament, the book of James declares that even though God resists the proud, He is more so a giver of grace and mercy.  (James 4:6) As we humble ourselves under His mighty hand we will find all the grace that we need.  Praise God!
