What do you do when you feel like you only have a little strength left?

In Week 7 of Jesus Among the Churches, we look at Jesus’ message to the church in Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7–13.

This church was not powerful or impressive by the world’s standards. They had faced hardship, uncertainty, and discouragement.

But Jesus did not rebuke them.

He encouraged them.

“I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” — Revelation 3:8 NIV

Jesus reminded them that He is the One who holds the key.

“What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” — Revelation 3:7 NIV

Your circumstances do not hold the key.

Your boss does not hold the key.

Your fear does not hold the key.

Jesus does.

And when He places an open door in front of you, no one can shut it.

Maybe you feel tired.

Maybe you feel small.

Maybe you feel like you do not have much left to give.

Jesus sees you.

You do not need to be impressive.

You need to remain faithful.

Faithfulness matters more than strength.

Hold on to what you have.

Keep going.

And when Jesus opens the door, walk through it.
