CONFESSION IS NOT THE END OF THE ROAD
August 8, 2025RISING UP FROM GRIEF TO A LIFE OF MEANING AND PURPOSE
August 10, 2025As we go about our life, it is but natural to get tied and weary. It simply means we need rest and recuperation, so that we would be refreshed in our spirits and bodies. When properly rested and refreshed, we will be able to continue to do our works, efficiently and productively.
As Christians, we too can get tired and weary. This too is natural. However, we as Christians, ought to remember that, weariness can be used as a weapon by our enemy, to discourage, distract and distance us from the task entrusted to us by our Redeemer, Master and LORD. The intention of our enemy is to stop us, by any means, and at any cost, from being fruitful for our LORD.
– “9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” – Galatians 6:9
– “13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:13
Weariness, though normal, if not addressed properly and in time, it can lead us a path which will end up is burning ourselves out, and we become unfruitful and useless. Hence, we need to take note of it with earnestness and all seriousness.
To help ourselves, we must diligently seek, where our fault lines are. We must identify what is draining our energies, and stopping us from doing good, and bearing fruit for our LORD. After identifying them, let us sit down, and seek the LORD, for grace and strength, to rectify the problem. Once we identify the problem, and find a solution to rectify it, we will be able to properly and adequately rest and recuperate, and get back into the LORD’s vineyard, with double the energy, and rejuvenated enthusiasm, and work for the LORD, to our heart’s content.
Let us, as disciple of the LORD, remember always that – Living for our God should be our first concern. It should be the number one priority of our life. Bearing fruit of good works for our Redeemer, should be our most important of all concerns. Let us not lose heart, nor get weary. Rather, let us trust God to help us. Even so, the LORD grant us His grace, and help us.
