“[He] gives ‘endless energy, boundless strength’”
(Ephesians 1:19, MSG)
God’s power isn’t reserved for mountaintop moments or grand acts of faith—it flows steadily in the everyday places where we feel most tired and small. Paul, writing from prison, knew that kind of power firsthand. He called it “endless energy, boundless strength”—the very power that raised Christ from the dead, now alive and at work in every believer. This strength is not noisy or flashy. It often shows up in quiet moments: the parent staying patient, the student holding onto faith, the caregiver showing up again.
When we feel like we’ve run out—of strength, resolve, or hope—God reminds us that His power isn’t limited by ours. His strength begins where ours ends. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). We may not feel powerful, but the Spirit within us is strong. We are not sustained by adrenaline or willpower, but by the deep, steady current of God’s faithful presence. In Him, we have strength for today and hope for tomorrow.
This kind of strength isn’t noisy. It doesn’t need applause. It shows up in a mother’s quiet faith, a student’s daily obedience, a caregiver’s midnight prayers, a believer’s perseverance in grief. When the world says, “You’re done,” God says, “I’m not finished yet.” His strength meets us not when we are impressive, but when we are honest. And in those moments, we discover it truly is endless energy, boundless strength—a power not our own, but freely given, and eternally enough.
🙏 Prayer
Lord, when I am weary, be my strength. When I have nothing left to give, fill me with Your endless energy and boundless grace. Remind me that Your power is at work in me, even when I feel weak. Amen
