"STRENGTH TO GET THE JOB DONE"

                                 He gives strenght to the weary and

                                    Increases the power of the weak.

                                               I S A I A H 40 : 29

Have you ever been worn out? Ever felt like you have forty-eight hours of homework to do. And only four in which to do it? When you're physically and mentallly exhausted, call on Me. I can cut your workload in half!

If you'll stop and listen to Me, I'll show you shortcuts and more efficient ways to get the job done. Some of the things you're doing might not even need to be done. Most of all, after spending time with Me, you'll be strenghtened in your mind and body. My love is like a spiritual vitamin that refreshes and wakes you up. Five minutes with Me could save you hours of work.

 

A time you may feel so worn out and stressed that you are not sure you can take another step. You may seem to spend all your time running from crises to crises and to be constantly giving your time and energy to others. Your Lord wants to renew your strenght and enable you to enjoy the abundant life He intends for you, the key is to wait upon Him to do so.

Our generation does not enjoy waiting. We are harried by all the commitment we have made and the many responsibilities we hold. We rush throught our lives without stopping to evaluate our activities. Sometimes in our haste to get on with our work, we race ahead of God. Part of God's restorative process is to slow us down and seek His will reveal His plans.

Biblically, waiting on the Lord is never passive; it is always active. Waiting requires us to cease our own pursuits and give God our complete attention. We may have to give up some of the activities we have allowed to in undate our lives. We may need to take an entire day to sit quietly before the Lord. If we ask Him, God will show us the  resources He has provide to help with the work we have been attempting on our own. God may address feelings of guilt that have motivated us to things that He has not asked us to do.

Jesus carried more responsibility than you do. More people needed Him than will ever need you. Yet He was never overwhelmed or inadequate for the task. Now Christ offers to guide you so that you will fulfill your heavenly Father's will and gain the strength necessary for each day ( Matthew 11:28 ).

So when you feel likes you just can't go on. . . Don't take a break and let Me renew your strength.
