Dear Young Christian:
Have you ever started a week feeling very weary? Maybe you didn’t get a chance to rest up over the weekend, or you had an unusually hectic schedule, an evening with friends over, a social event or other happening that drained you and left you feeling like you just couldn’t make it.
Well, while often it is our own fault when we get overtired, yet the Lord does sympathize with us, and we read, “He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust” (Psalm 103:14). He also tells us, “Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:30-31). So, weary and tired as you may be this Monday, go forth in the strength of the Lord, and count on Him to take charge of your life and whatever you have to deal with this week.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
