Isaiah 40:30-31
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Have you ever been so weary that you felt like you could not hold your head up? Did your weariness cause you to become embarrassed? Have you sought sleep and rest as if it were the most precious thing in the world? Welcome to my world!
Actually, I should say welcome to my world back when I was attending college and working full time. Back in the 50’s a normal work week was 48 hours, and a full college load was 18 hours. I was doing both. Sometimes the night hours seemed to go on forever and ever.
Early one morning, about 2:00 a.m., I was driving my patrol car to the edge of town where there was a turn-around area. I paused for just a second with my eyes closed. As I sat there I realized that my headlights were on bright and were shining into oncoming traffic. A driver was flashing his headlights signaling for me to dim my lights. Yikes! I depressed the siren button instead of the dimmer switch — it must have really startled that driver as I turned on my emergency lights and tore past him.
Sometimes we get wrapped up in things that are spiritually draining and cause us to lose sight of what God really desires in the life of His children—resting in Him alone. He will give us the strength we need to do His will. Praise the Lord!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
