Tired and Weary
No doubt about it, this was a tense and anxious week; election, coronavirus spiking across the world and in our towns, hospitals nearing capacity, family who are sick (though not with Covid), and the constant struggle of life balance. I, like the rest of our nation, am weary, tired, and in need rest.
Relief
And so it came as a welcomed relief to experience our first significant rainfall (for our area) in seven months! It is after the rain and in the quiet of the morn, I feel peacefulness all around. The songbirds are singing while fluttering about and playing in the remnants of a puddle. The air is crisp, my breath visable as I stood in the midst of my garden, I sense God’s restorative hand at work. The feeling of tranquility makes me linger.
God Never Tires
I recall Isaiah 41:28 “God never grows weary or tired”. I smile and realized that when I change my perspective and focus my thoughts towards the Lord, not only can I witness the beauty of His creation but my weariness has lifted. Isaiah 41: 31, “Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount with wings like eagles; they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. ”
