Strength Attracted by Weakness
Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength.…


We have seen a little weakling child draw to its cot some strong and burly man, the champion athlete of the country-side. Such a spell can weakness exert over might, and helplessness over helpfulness. It is the burden of Scripture that the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak, and not please themselves. Such is the law of God's existence. All that He is and has He holds in trust for us, and most for those who need most.

(F. B. Meyer, B. A.)
