OneWordStudy+FollowThe Bible Never Promised You Would Stay Strong Forever We quote, “The Lord is my strength,” as if strength is something we’re supposed to maintain. As if growing older means learning how not to fall apart. But Scripture tells a quieter truth. Isaiah uses the word koach for strength—and it also means capacity. Not endless energy. Just enough for what today requires. If you’re weaker than you used to be, more easily discouraged, slower to recover— that is not spiritual decline. It is human honesty. God never asked you to be strong forever. He asked you to bring the version of yourself that exists now. Grace was never designed for your prime years only. It was written into the story for this season too. #ChristianAging #HebrewInsight #FaithAndWeakness #BibleReflection #OlderBelievers233Share
DidYouKnow+FollowThe Bible never promises your strength will be enough. We love the phrase “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” It sounds empowering. It sounds responsible. But it is not biblical. Paul actually writes the opposite. He says they were burdened beyond their strength, and despaired of life itself. Why would Scripture admit that? Because faith was never meant to prove your toughness. It was meant to expose your limits. That matters, especially for older believers who were taught to endure quietly. You survived wars, losses, illnesses, disappointments—without complaint. And now you feel tired, and ashamed of the tiredness. But the Bible does not honor self-sufficiency. It honors dependence. Grace enters where strength ends. Not before. If life finally feels like more than you can handle, that may not be failure. It may be the first honest place faith was always meant to live. #BibleMisconceptions #GraceOverStrength #ChristianAging #FaithAndWeakness #DidYouKnow494Share
