Strength in Weakness

2 Timothy 4:17 (WEB)

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Reflection

Paul wrote these words while facing abandonment and hardship. Everyone else had left, but the Lord hadn't moved an inch. When the people around you disappear, God stands closer. He doesn't just send help; He personally shows up and gives you what you need.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, even when I feel alone, You are standing right beside me. Open my eyes to see Your presence today and fill me with strength I couldn't find on my own.
