Are you a tired parent, weary of training your children in righteousness? Or a prayer warrior, who is feeling all prayed out? Or a worship leader who is feeling flat? Maybe you are just weary of forgiving those who sin against you again and again, or perhaps you are tired of supporting that friend who keeps falling into sin traps. Maybe you are feeling sick of speaking the truth in love when it feels like no one is listening. Oh, friend, if you are feeling drained from doing what is good, look to Jesus!
Look to the hill of Calvary and see Jesus winning the battle for you! Consider Jesus and how He poured out all His strength and His Spirit so that His Spirit would fill and fortify you. Remember that Jesus, as your Mediator, endured to the end. He sacrificed His life to save and sanctify you. His victory is yours; He is “the founder and perfecter” of your faith. Look to Jesus and receive His resurrection power that will not only raise you on the last day but every day!
Do you see someone doing what is right, but their enthusiasm for the work has waned? Come alongside them, help them to rest on Jesus, their Rock, and then prop up their arms with the good news of Christ’s death and resurrection. In so doing, you will strengthen and steady them along the way!
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:9-10
Judy writes, "We have small battles and God is there giving us strength. Our battles are nothing compared to what Jesus saw ahead of Him at the cross, and took on Himself for us so that we would win the battles ahead of us. Lord, please guide me as I look to You that You would strengthen me daily to live for You. Amen"
Andrew writes, "Jesus is the answer. He’s on top of that hill with his arms raised like Moses was. He loves me and I love him. “My cup runneth over” with the love from the Lord. It gives me the desire to be better each day and to know that if I fall, he is right there to pick me back up."
