It is so tempting the older we get to give up or give over things we have worked so hard to achieve. We think, “is it even worth it?” Our bodies are tired from hard fought victories. We can be wearied and worn out and yet here is Isaiah’s challenge to us.
35:3 Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
4 Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”
In the New Testament we are challenged to not grow weary in well doing. Both scriptures are reminding us that there will be difficult and tiring times, but don’t give up, Jesus is going to return. God will send Him and by His might and power He will make all things right. So grab a good meal, take a quick nap and return to today’s battle knowing He is fighting with you and for you. Press on.
