"I know your works, your labor….
You have labored for My name’s
sake and have not become
weary."
Revelation 2: 2-3
Have you ever served God to a point of exhaustion?
Lord Jesus did. In John 4, Jesus was “wearied from
His journey” (verse
6).
In Mark 4, Jesus was so tired He slept during a storm at
sea. In Mark 6:31, He suggested He and His disciples
find a quiet place away from the crowds to rest.
Even Jesus grew weary in the work. But He never grew
weary of the work—and there’s a big difference between
the two. Galatians 6:9 says, “Let us not become weary
in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give up”.
The church at Ephesus spread the Word of God
through Asia so that people everywhere heard
of Christ because of this dynamic
congregation.
They persevered in their works and in their labor.
Don’t be afraid of encountering some fatigue in
whatever work God assigns you. But if you have
become weary of the work, ask God to renew
your vision and your strength today.
"God renews your hope with His comfort. That is
why we never give up. Though our bodies
are
dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.
God renews your spirit despite your physical
troubles."
V. Gilbert Beers
