Key Verse:

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

— Isaiah 41:10

Rooted Truth:

The valley reminds us of our weakness—but it also reveals God’s strength.

Faith Story:

Corrie ten Boom, imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, often felt too weak to endure the suffering. Yet she recalled her father’s words before her arrest:

“When you go on a journey, Corrie, when do I give you the ticket? Three weeks before?”

“No, Father. You give it to me just before we get on the train.”

“Exactly. And our wise Father in heaven knows when you will need strength. He will give it to you in time.”

In the valley, God doesn’t ask us to manufacture strength. He gives it when it is needed—upholding us with His righteous right hand.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Habakkuk 3:19 – “God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s…”

Daily Practice:

Identify one area where you feel weak today. Instead of hiding it, bring it to God in prayer, and ask Him to show His strength in that very place.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, I confess my weakness, but I praise You for being my strength. Uphold me with Your righteous right hand, and let my weakness become a platform for Your power. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• What area of weakness in your life most often drives you to God?

• How can remembering God’s promises in Isaiah 41:10 give you peace in your valley?

• In what ways has God turned your weakness into a testimony of His strength?
