Do you need to find rest for your weary soul? What led to your weariness in the first place? These are important questions to ask ourselves; especially in seasons like Christmas where our lives can get so busy. We weren’t created to be on all the time and go, go, go like the energizer bunny. Contrary to the ways of the world, we are actually called to rest like God did on the seventh day.
Digging Into The Word
I love how the Bible provides all kinds of stories that are relatable. Sarah tried to fulfill the promise in her own strength. Peter got angry. Jesus wept. Today I want to share some encouragement from 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.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
31 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.“
Are you tired or weary? The Christmas season is a joyful one, but can often turn into a whirlwind of business and exhaustion if we let it.
…but you can find rest for your weary soul by putting your hope in the Lord!
Reflect
- Are you enjoying the Christmas season? Why or why not?
- Are you suffering from a weary soul? Why?
- What can you do to step into peace again?
- How often do you spend time with the Prince of Peace?
- What roadblocks are coming in the way of finding rest?
- How can you step into rest and prevent a weary soul?
