OUR FATHER WHO STRENGTHENS US

The book of Isaiah chapter 59 verse 10 says this;

Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like people without eyes.

At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead.

This verse is part of a description by the prophet Isaiah of our desperate human condition without God.

Without the light of the Lord, we are like sightless people groping our way through life trying to feel our way along any solid structure to  find an opening.

Even when there is bright illumination in the middle of the day, we remain unseeing and stagger as though we were in darkness.  

Our spiritual senses are inoperative and we are unable percieve the spiritual realities that we are immersed in.

It is also in this context that we are weak and helpless in the arena of the spirit where were are almost powerless against influences from the spiritual realm.

It is only  through our regeneration through Jesus Christ who redeemed us that we gain sensory awareness of the things of the spirit and we get stronger by the Lord who, as the book of Philippians chapter 4 verse 13 says;

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Amen.
