We endure trials by looking to Christ and lifting our hands and strengthening our knees through faith (Hebrews 12:12).
The writer of Hebrews encourages believers to lift up their hands that hang down and strengthen their feeble knees (Hebrews 12:12). This imagery conveys the necessity of finding encouragement in the Lord during times of weakness and trials. By focusing our attention on Christ—the author and finisher of our faith—we gain the strength and perseverance needed to endure life's challenges. It is through faith that we are reminded that our trials, although grievous, serve a greater purpose and are designed for our ultimate good and His glory. Looking diligently to Christ enables us to run the race set before us with patience, despite any tribulations we face.
