Day 282: Isaiah 39-40; Philippians 4
by Jonathan Merki on October 8th, 2023
"He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless." (Isaiah 40:29, CSB). Fresh on my mind is the preparation I have completed for preaching this Lord's Day with Scripture ending in these words: "For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10).
