Isaiah 40:29-31).  Our Lord continues to save His people because His strength is added to our weakness so we keep putting on fresh strength each day.  Instead of being overcome with circumstances, God stabilizes our emotions and spirits.  So, is it true or false when a Christian says in frustration: “I can’t take it anymore!”?  And, of course, we know that all this available strength came as a result of Jesus’ experience of weakness on the cross.  He experienced ultimate weakness so we could experience ultimate strength as we trust Him.
