Balm For A Weary Heart

Sometimes life as a pilgrim in this world is exhausting – we face challenges, obstacles, even persecution as we follow Jesus on this narrow path carrying our cross . We face pain, frustration, anger, hurt, rejection, hate, deceit, treachery and fear – we run into them almost daily. It hits us hard sometimes, we get hurt when the world attacks us, some of us may even be killed by it. It doesn’t matter though, “cause to live is Christ and to die is gain. “.

Those words have been echoing in my heart for a few days now as God is working in our lives to put us where He needs us. I have been praying for strength and wisdom as we are moving into the next phase he has for us. Tonight I asked again and this was the verse I saw when I looked at my e-sword random verse generator:

Isaiah 40:31  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.

Praise God for His strength and wisdom and grace and mercy and love! He has promised to be with us “always, even unto the end of the world ‘. “. So my beloved brothers and sisters in Christ hang tight to that which you have, let no man take it from you.

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. —— Galatians 2:20
