'...they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength...' (Isaiah 40:31)
This week I served at a conference that meant I had to get up at 6:30 in the morning two days in a row, something my body was not used to. What's more, the conference ran late which meant I went to bed late.
Needless to say, this made me feel pretty tired.
How do we cope with tiredness? Physical exhaustion? The reminder we live in a fallen world, and cannot keep going forever?
Because God gives us the strength we need. We have food to give us energy; sleep to help us recover. And determination.
How else could new parents keep rising every night to attend to their new child?
How else could a father come home after a long day at work and still make time to play with his children and help his wife around the house?
Thank you Lord that, not only do you give us strength when we're tired, you have also promised to one day give us eternal rest in Christ. How we long for that day!
