February 14 -- "When Weariness Sets In"

 ►Click HERE to view today's "Word from the Word"


Weariness touches every corner of our lives – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. When we grow weary, it's as if our batteries are drained, leaving us struggling to stay motivated and engaged in our daily tasks. This sense of weariness can often lead to discouragement, making us feel like our efforts are futile or go unrecognized.

Physically, Weariness shows up as sheer exhaustion.  This can drain our energy, weaken our immune system, and impair physical function, making even simple tasks feel exhausting. Mentally, Weariness can cloud our judgment and muddle our ability to think clearly. Emotionally, It can make us feel overwhelmed and irritable, creating tension in our relationships with others. Spiritually, Weariness can lead to a weakened faith, allowing doubts and fears to creep in.  We may start to question God's presence and His plans for us.

In today’s verse from 2 Thessalonians, Paul encourages believers to keep going despite any weariness or challenges they may be facing. He understands the challenges that can come over time with living righteously, but urges the faithful to stay steadfast, knowing that their efforts in the Lord's work are never in vain.

The remarkable thing about our God is that He also understands our weariness and offers to refresh, renew, and revitalize us. 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. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;  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.

Keep your focus on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith.  He is your strength and your example. When you start to feel weary, draw near to Him, and He will renew your strength. Be persistent in your pursuit of doing good, knowing that God sees your efforts and is pleased with your faithfulness.

May the Lord, who gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak, renew your spirit and refresh your soul this very day.
