Wow. The timing of these last three devotions is amazing. I needed these tender words, “The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone-weary. Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion. Instead, see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life.” Again, I say wow.
I have been living with such peace because of learning how to keep my focus on Him. That truly is how I have made it through these past busy four months. So when I got to Tuesday and just wanted to unplug from everything, I got frustrated when I wasn’t able to just be alone. I thought that I had taken a step backwards. I felt guilty that I didn’t want to be around anyone. Not very often do I say, “I am exhausted.” But this was one of those times. People will look at my life and automatically say, “I know you’re tired.” But normally, I truly am not. When I am functioning in His Will, I am normally energized not tired. So when I reach those moments of total exhaustion, I know it is time to rest. I love how this devotion was God Himself (not man) saying to me that my exhaustion was good. This gave Him the opportunity to take over and give me rest. The glory then goes only to the Father!
I realized that I was craving His rest. What comfort to know that our God cares so tenderly for us. He knows our limits and wants so much to be the One that will provide what we need.
Again, all I can say is, WOW!
