Psalm 6
God is good. He puts words of wisdom like bread crumbs for us to find our way back home. I have been suffering these past few days with total exhaustion. I only want to sleep. I wouldn't say I am depressed just weary. Then I open my bible today for my devotion and reading and this is what I read:
David rejoiced because of God's protection and peace. He encouraged others to trust in God. Godly people can place their confidence in God because he listens to them and puts joy in their hearts.
Weariness is tough. I don't mean the physical weariness that comes with mowing a lawn or the mental weariness that follows a hard day of decisions and thinking. No, the weariness that comes just before you give up. That feeling of honest desperation. It's the dispirited father, the abandoned child, or the retiree with time on his hands. It's that stage in life when motivation disappears; the children grow up, a job is lost, a wife dies. The result is weariness--deep, lonely, frustrated weariness.
Only one man in history has claimed to have an answer for it. He stands before all of us in this world with the same promise. "Come to me, all you who are weary...and I will give your rest" Matt. 11:28
Ask God for a new sense of joy and love. When tension mounts, pause to thank God for his love.
God speaks to us because he is walking with us each day. God knows what I am going through, he knows how tired I am, He knows how to heal me.
He also knows YOU; but do you know HIM?
God bless Hugs and Prayers
