4 "The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5 Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry hunger no more.
She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away.
This scripture really just give us a picture of how Gods ways are not our ways, and about how God doesn't look at the things man looks at. He looks at the broken, and the weak, and heals them and gives them strength. He looks at the barren, and the hungry, and fulfills their deepest hunger, and makes them fruitful. He takes what is old, and bad, and makes it good, and new. This is true for me in my life. I am at my core a broken, and weak person, and I can bear fruit in no way, meaning I can't make stuff happen-unless the LORD helps me. The LORD is my source. HE is our source. He doesn't look at the strong, because honestly there are no truly 'strong' people, only weak and broken people, the LORD just uses those who realize their weakness, and offer it up to the LORD, and He uses it for our good, and the good of others even.
At the end of the age the LORD is going to turn the tide on Satan, and all of the people who are in the world's eyes strong and wise, and the LORD is going to humble them, and bring them down low, and He will be exalted, and His people are going to be all good with that because we will realize that HE ALONE is the ONLY ONE who is worthy of praise, and recognition from men.
Those who turn to the LORD, and lift up to Him their brokenness, He will heal. Those who are weak, He will arm with strength. Those who are hungry, He will fill, and Those who are barren, He will make fruitful.
I believe this applies to every single person, except God Himself. We need to realize that we are weak, and broken, and have nothing to offer but our weakness, and brokenness, but that it the beauty of what the LORD is offering, because He knows how we are. He knows that we are weak, and broken, but He loves us anyways! He loves us just the way we are!! That is so glorious. So Wonderful, and I just want to encourage you to lift up all that you are to the LORD, because He is the only one who can help you overcome any problem you face, and that is more important than we know.
---Intercession---
Jesus, I just want to thank You for how You use our weaknesses, and our brokenness for Your good. Thank You for offering to us Your way, and Your will for our lives, and I just pray that even though things don't always go our way You still work on our behalf for our good, and You love us more than we know. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus Name. Amen.
