“He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might HE INCREASES STRENGTH” – Isaiah 40:29

The Scriptures overflow with the PROMISES of DIVINE STRENGTH: ““He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might HE INCREASES STRENGTH (Isa.40:29). Written to a weary, exiled people, this passage serves as a reminder that God’s Power is limitless and that He willingly shares it with those who rely on Him. It begins on a comparative note, as God asked: “To whom will you compare me?" (vv.25-26). He highlights His role as Creator, noting that He brings out the stars by name, possesses and manifests immense power. The point is that if God can sustain the innumerable hosts of stars, He can sustain every human being. He can sustain You and I!

Depicting the human condition, however, the people felt “weary,” hidden from God, abandoned and exhausted (v.27). He had to remind them that He is the everlasting God, the Creator who never faints or grows weary. He is not limited by human constraints (v.28). And then, the Promise: "He gives power to the faint...” (v.29). This highlights that God does not just help; He infuses energy into the exhausted. 

Verses 29 to 31 define the "Divine Exchange" – a transformation from human limitation to God-given capacity. Given human limitations, even the strongest, young men will fall and faint (v.30). When we rely only on ourselves, we will inevitably burn out. Here comes the Act of Waiting: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" (v.31). In the original Hebrew, "wait" implies a confident expectation, hope, and trust, not merely passing time. It means "to bind together" – like weaving a rope – with God, resulting in Divine Dynamism:

"Mount up with wings as eagles": Means rising above life’s storms, gaining a heavenly perspective, and being sustained by the Spirit.

"Run and not be weary": Represents supernaturally enduring high-pressure, intense periods of life without burning out.

"Walk and not faint": Denotes everyday faithfulness and consistency, even when the daily grind feels overwhelming. 

Here are a few powerful Prophetic Declarations of Divine Strength:

In Jesus name, I declare that I am receiving divine power for every area of my life. As I wait upon the Lord, my strength is renewed daily.

I shall soar like an eagle above every storm and trial. I will run my race and not grow weary. I will walk in my daily duties and not faint.

I break the spirit of exhaustion and burnout off my life. I receive the Wisdom of God to navigate life’s challenges effortlessly.

My weakness is turned into divine strength. My youth is renewed, and I have strength to fulfill my purposes in life.

I will not stumble or fall, for the Lord upholds me. I am moving from strength to strength, and from glory to glory.

I receive the grace to wait on the Lord, knowing my victory is assured.
