Read Isaiah 51:5
There are seasons in life when everything seems to fall apart, and no human help can rescue us. In those moments, we are left with only one option—throwing ourselves completely into the care of God. Strangely enough, those storms that strip away our supports often become blessings in disguise. The trial that takes away every earthly crutch is the very thing that presses us closer into the arms of our Father.
Sometimes, it is only when we are poor, lonely, or helpless that we truly discover the power of God’s embrace. Troubles that are too heavy to share with anyone else can still be poured out before Him, and in those moments we learn more about His faithfulness than in years of comfort.
So if you feel tossed about by life’s storms, don’t see it as a curse. See it as an invitation to trust fully in God’s strength. Do not dishonor Him with doubts or fears—show the world that your God is worth more than riches, status, or strength. In your weakness, demonstrate the power of His everlasting arms. In your poverty, show the riches of being a child of the King.
This is the time for faith to shine brightest—not when skies are clear, but when all is dark and uncertain. Just as the heavens need no pillars to hold them up, your faith needs no earthly evidence to rest secure. Trust His unseen arm, and you will find it stronger than anything visible on earth.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for being the strong arms I can lean on when life overwhelms me. Forgive me when I doubt Your power or fear that You have forgotten me. Teach me to trust You more fully, especially when I have nothing else to depend on. Help me to show the world that You are my strength, my riches, and my security. May my weakness become the place where Your power shines most clearly.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
