A Midweek Encounter with God: Strength for the Journey
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." – Isaiah 40:31 Happy Wednesday, beloved! At Voice of Hope Ministries International Church of God, we recognize Wednesdays as a sacred time for renewal, reflection, and revival. The middle of the week often comes with exhaustion, challenges, and burdens, but it is also an opportunity to draw closer to God and receive fresh strength for the journey ahead. The Power of Midweek Renewal Wednesdays are a divine checkpoint—a time to pause, pray, and press into God’s presence. The distractions of the world may pull us away, but when we set aside time to seek the Lord, we are refreshed in His Spirit. Midweek services and prayers are not just gatherings; they are encounters! They remind us that God is with us, walking through every trial and leading us into victory. Spiritual Refueling: Why We Need It Just as a car cannot run without fuel, our spiritual lives require constant refilling. Life's battles can drain us, but God’s Word and fellowship with believers pour new strength into our souls. Hebrews 10:25 encourages us, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Every Wednesday, we gather to receive from God—whether through prayer, worship, Bible study, or anointed preaching. This is a time to surrender worries, find encouragement, and walk boldly in faith. What Happens When We Seek God in the Middle of the Week? We gain divine direction. (Proverbs 3:5-6) We receive renewed strength. (Isaiah 40:31) We experience the peace of God. (Philippians 4:6-7) We remain steadfast in our walk with Christ. (Colossians 2:6-7) A Call to Worship and Fellowship As we gather this Wednesday, let us come with hearts full of expectation. Let us lift our voices in praise, knowing that our God is faithful to revive, restore, and empower us. Whatever you are facing today, remember: God is your strength, your refuge, and your ever-present help in times of need (Psalm 46:1). Join us for our Midweek Service at Voice of Hope Ministries International Church of God! Come and receive a fresh word from the Lord, connect with fellow believers, and encounter the power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer for Today Heavenly Father, thank You for this blessed Wednesday. I surrender my worries, burdens, and fears into Your hands. Fill me with Your peace, renew my strength, and let Your presence guide me through the rest of the week. May I walk in faith, knowing that You are with me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Be encouraged, be strengthened, and keep the faith!
