WEARY

"I have told you all this so that

you may have peace in me.  Here

on earth you will have many trials

and sorrows.  But take heart, because

I have overcome the world."

(John 16:33 NLT)

I am not young like you.  I do not 

jump out of bed anxious to get the

day going and do all that needs to be

done.

This morning as I drug myself out

of bed and staggered in to turn the

coffee pot on I was weary.  Not so

much from over work, but a couple 

of projects down in the shop that I

am attempting to do for the Lord 

simply are not going the way I want

them too.  So, I not only had a 

tired body but was somewhat

depressed.  I was tired of life and

felt like I wanted to go on home and

be with the Lord.

As I headed back to the bath room,

with out my mind in this direction at

all, the Lord seemed to say to me;

"be not weary in well doing", that would

be King James talk, but I got the 

message.  O.K., Lord.

Or as we would say it today:

"So let's not get tired of doing

what is good.  At just the right time

we will reap a harvest of blessing if

we don't give up."

(Galatians 6:9 NLT)

P.S.

This of course is many hours latter.

But the project that was particularly

heavy on my mind God let it work

out very well and has me praising 

Him.
