| Weary, Weak and Exhausted |
|
| |
There are just times in our lives that we grow weary and feel to weak to carry on. We all go through it. I'm going through it right now. So many things going on in my life that I just feel I can't do it any longer. And then, I feel guilty for it because I see so many people going through so much more. Thus, the cycle begins. And I know from this verse that if I wait for the Lord, He's going to take care of it all, then another problem that I have creeps in.....impatience. satan is really working on me right now, why? Because he can't have me, so he wants to steal my joy. he knows my weak points.....waiting is one, so he works double time to bring me as low as he can.
It is so easy to say "be patient and wait" and I know all the verses and what to do......it's putting it in action that's hard. And to make it worse, I'm a cup half full person. I'm the person who feels that no matter my situation, someone out there is in a worse situation, so what am I grumbling about. There goes the cycle again.
This verse plainly tells me what God will do. And I do believe. I'm just struggling right now. Like I said in Val's post....I try not to put on that plastic smile......and in this valley, it's definitely not on.
I have to just stand, wait, and allow God to increase my patience. And learn. Then I will mount up on wings as an eagle for the Lord. I'm learning and this verse was for me today. Waiting for the renewing and praying for it.
Ramblin' on.
40:28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, his understanding is unsearchable. 40:29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 40:30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 40:31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. |

Just struck me...the contrast between your blog and your little picture of Cindy Lou Who -- holding that ornament and being all hopeful that the Grinch would ultimately do the right thing. :) Kinda sweet, isn't it? We hope...and keep hoping...and sometimes the Grinch steals everything from us...and while we may be disappointed and burdened and worn out, we manage to summon up that little bit of hope that keeps us going.... bless you for sharing today... |

Look at it this way...
God is standing there holding a jacket waiting for you to step in
Just step in- He puts it on as you put your arms in
but He waits for us to take that step in faith.
it puts on the joy and assurance that He's got it.
it's a peace
a calm Put it on |

Mike: that's right.....only I can put it into action. In this case, it's from the outside, other people....I can't change them, I can only change me and how I react.
Cup half full for me is not always good......because like now, I sometimes use it to beat myself up. That's a bad cycle. I see my problems as petty, and other people's problems I take to the Lord. When, in my heart and mind I know that all our problems are important to God. |

| With me, I handle my load well.....until someone heaps stuff on it that shouldn't be there in the first place. Then I'm off balance! I do say no though......and that's where the turmoil starts.....cause mine is all with family. |
