Tired and weary


Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
 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 had a day or a week that was extremely grueling?  That was me these past two weeks.  I had huge projects going on here at work, my son was constantly needy when he was home, I had other appointments and I just got to a point this past Saturday that I had nothing left to give, I was spent.  While I really needed to get some work done around the house, I just could not do it.  I had to take some time to rest and recharge. 

As I think about our mighty God, I think about how he created the entire world in just a week’s time.  Talk about a grueling project!  While he took time to rest, it was not because he grew tired or weary. 

I am so grateful today that we have a loving God who does not grow tired or weary on us.  And that when I grow tired and weary, that I have a place to be restored.
