Day 241: Strength for the Weary

Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard?
    The Eternal, the Everlasting God,
The Creator of the whole world, never gets tired or weary.
    His wisdom is beyond understanding.
God strengthens the weary
    and gives vitality to those worn down by age and care.
Young people will get tired;
    strapping young men will stumble and fall.
But those who trust in the Eternal One will regain their strength.
    They will soar on wings as eagles.
They will run—never winded, never weary.
    They will walk—never tired, never faint.
(Isaiah 40:28-31)

Today I am grateful for the strength of God when I am weary.  It's been a weary kind of week. Parenting this week has been especially taxing and I feel worn down. But I know that there is strength available to me through the Creator of strength.  And what's lucky for me is he never wears out or gets worn down!  So when I do and am I need only to invite him in.  There's no way I can parent, be a wife, be a friend, be an employee, be a sister, or be a daughter without God's strength for when I am worn out and weary.
