Weary

song going through my head this evening...

O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Saviour,
And life more abundant and free.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His Glory and Grace.

I am weary. There is no other way to describe it than weary. I have been thinking about it today and talking to God about it! WEARY!!

Right from Webster's:
wea·ry: exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor, or freshness

Yes, that nails it on the head. WEARY!! I feel exhausted...sorrowed also. Why does this life get so hard? Why is there poor health, MS scares, divorce, deaths of babies, job dissatisfaction? It leaves me weary...it also leaves me clinging, often with tears, to my Jesus for strength...which is a good place to be. I know that my life, as well as the lives of all of those going through these wearisome trials, is in Jesus' hands. Praise Him for His sovereignty...I seriously don't know how I could get through my life without the hope of my Jesus.

Psalm 63:1
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Psalm 119:28
My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.

Isaiah 40:28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

My hope is JESUS!!! My strength is JESUS!!
