Too Weak To Study?

I am currently laying on my beautiful bed. My muscles are shaky and weak, my brain is tired and groggy. Last night I helped my daughter untangle her hair. This endeavor kept me up 2 hours after my usual bedtime, but we ended with smiles and as a mom there are few sacrifices I'm unwilling to make for the well-being of my daughters.

I'm too weak to do many things, but I believe I can still study and learn about God in this place of weakness. Indeed, I believe that one of the most powerful times to learn about God are during trials when we need him most.

The definition of weakness in Guide to the Scriptures is as follows: The condition of being mortal and lacking ability, strength, or skill. Weakness is a state of being. All people are weak, and it is only by God’s grace that they receive power to do righteous acts (Jacob 4:6–7). This weakness is manifest in part in the individual weaknesses or frailties that each person has. 

The whole chapter of Isaiah 35 speaks of restoration. When the Lord sends restoration the weak hands and the feeble knees will be given strength, the desert will be given water, fearful would be given strength and trust in the Lord's preservation, the eyes of the blind will see, the ears of the death will hear.

In short, in the day of restoration the Lord will restore to us and compensate for us, all that has gone wrong will be made right.

Today I am weak, but I am also God's daughter and in my weakness when I turn my weakness over to him I can be given strength not only in my body but in my mind and my spirit. I am so grateful for the scriptures to remind me that I am never too weak for God. He gives me weakness and turning to him I may be humble and he can make my weakness strength.
