Where have you mistakenly placed your hope??

Are you weary?
Are you worn out?
Are you tired?

Isaiah 40

28 Do you not know?


Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.


This weekend, I went to a women's conference.
Today on 3 separate occasions I have encountered women who are weary ... not including me.
Angela Thomas suggested 8 Biblical Remedies to weariness ... and I think they are worth repeating today!

1) His Presence Restores ... are you spending time in his presence?? Are you really taking time to not just talk but to listen ... and to just be? I returned home to a beautiful explination of what it means to "Be Still" ... the term means to be the kind of still as one readies for the stitches of a surgeon. Surrendeered to the action that is being performed ... In this season I am trying to be still ... surrendering to the mending of my broken heart.

2) There is the Divine Wait ... That period of idle before refreshment that He promises comes. Letting the hard of your circumstance just be ... not struggling against it, but leaning into it.

3) Sabbath Rest ... Are you taking time to rest from what you do as your work? You must take time to replenish your soul! It may not happen on Sunday ... what day will you take your Sabbath??

4) You can not meet every need ... Jesus was not every where ... he did not heal every one ... He only did what the Father commanded. Listen to what He asking you to do ... and He isn't asking you to do more than He asked Jesus to do!

5) Jesus physically rested. You need to rest!

6)Repentance leads to refreshemnt ... Is there sin that needs confessing. It takes precious energy to remain in sin. If there's something you need to get right between you and the Lord ... do it.

7) Live the Good Life ... do good things ... do right things ...

8) Godly friendships restore your soul. Spend time with people who are rest for your soul!! Be sure you are nurturing a few relationships that are safe, secure, treasured ... and when you find yourself weary and depleted ... stand on your head to get to your friend who is rest for your soul!! Don't isolate yourself ... it gives the enemy too much room to work!

So what will you do with your weary today.
