I’m posting for the sake of emptying my head this morning.
T-I-R-E-D is a word that was given to me this morning. It has been present in my all week’s study time, so after being hit on the head with it long enough, I figured I need to dig in and see what the Lord is revealing to me.
As I prepared for work this morning, I was saying a prayer of thanksgiving over the disciples. Were they ever tired? You betcha! Our Sunday school lesson brought this to the forefront for me. I imagine if I was standing in the presence of Jesus, being taught by his messages, being asked to come along on his path……I imagine that I see first hand the miracles he performed……I imagine the power that the disciples were given to cast out demons and heal the sick……..I imagine……what if I was one of them?
HELLO! I am! I AM ONE OF THEM! I DO stand in the presence of Jesus. I AM being taught by his messages. I AM being asked to come along on his path. I DO see first hand the miracles he performs. I DO have the power to make an impact on those who are lost, those who are sick.
Don’t you know those disciples were tired? But what a different tired that must have been from the tired some of them knew from the fishing boats.
“Lord, I can get completely exhausted from working in the yard, from working at my job, from worry and anxiety…….I tire from many, many things. I wake today wanting to tire FOR YOU, exhaust me! Let me be a witness and a worker for you, Jesus. I want my satisfying slumber to come from the reprieve of your promises, after being a tireless witness for you. Amen.”
