When you ask people how they are doing these days they often say they are busy, and consequently tired. It's a common problem. Well, the Bible tells us many times that God is our strength. and if you are feeling tired and weary today let me encourage you with these verses from Isaiah 40:29 and 31 (KJV). "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” I think the key to tapping into these promises is: "waiting on the Lord" and this involves patient waiting in trust and faith (Heb 6:12).

So often we find ourselves caught up in the material goal’s and expectations of the world and we are run ragged trying to attain and keep up in our own strength. Verses 28-30 of chapter 11 in Matthews gospel are very pertinent to the present discussion: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”.

Jesus is saying here, humble yourselves, be teachable, do things my way and enjoy my rest, instead of your wearying, frustrating labors. Rest in him, quiet yourself, wait on him, get his plan and run in his strength. Strength is multiplied and goes so much further, when you let God run your show.
