Are You Weary


eDevotion
Encouragement for your daily walk with God

I have a question for you; Do you ever feel like giving up? Be honest now. I think most of us would have to admit that we’ve had those kinds of feeelings or thoughts at certain times in our Christian experience. That’s why I find Paul’s letters so helpful. Over and over he says to persevere, to run with endurance, to not lose heart. He experienced trials and suffering and knew first hand how hard it can be to keep at it day in and day out. 

Furthermore, our enemy will use every trick up his sleeve to discourage us from going forward. His job is to get us to throw in the towel—to give up. It’s only natural to do so unless we stay in God’s Word and renew our minds through it. Yes, there will be times when we become weary and feel that we are about to sink, but that is the exact time to turn to the Lord for strength and encouragement. Do not give up! If we hang in there, victory will be ours in Christ. 

Maybe this Scripture will help you as it has helped me over the years. “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:9)
