Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Weary is a good description today. I haven’t slept well in two days, I’m behind on my grading (no surprise), and I got up early (because I couldn’t sleep anyway) only to find that I can’t grade because the internet is down. And it’s only Wednesday.
Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
But I know I have a choice. I can devolve into a temper tantrum of 2-year-old proportions, or I can turn to Jesus. I can lament the things I can’t check off my list this morning, or I can draw closer to Him.
Isaiah 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Jesus, I am weary. This morning isn’t going at all the way I planned. Help me to choose You instead of frustration. Help me to draw closer to You instead of falling apart. Help me to find rest in Your presence. Amen.
Jeremiah 31:25 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
Have a blessed day.
