I don’t know about you, but I woke up weary this morning.  We all have days like this, days where it takes every ounce of our being to just get out of bed.  But then I read this in my devotional this morning from OSWALD CHAMBERS: 

“IT IS A POSITIVE CRIME TO BE WEAK IN GOD’S STRENGTH.”

So it is a good thing to be weak!   It is a positive thing to be weary.  Our world will say different.  It will say you are a weakling.  Only the strong win.  Only the strong succeed.  But GOD’S economy is just the opposite.

MATTHEW 5: 3 “BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”

In the Sermon on the Mount JESUS left HIS followers and us some very comforting words, words to remember, words to place upon our weary hearts.  

Weak in HIS strength……..if we keep our eyes on HIM, the problem solver, rather than the problem before us, isn’t HIS strength truly what we need?  If we cannot do it ourselves, or find a solution which we so often try to do, what is wrong with being weary or downtrodden, or at the end of our rope!  Oswald also says this:

“THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW THE STRENGTH OF GOD IS TO TAKE THE YOKE OF JESUS UPON US AND LEARN OF HIM.”

The LORD said to take HIS yoke and come alongside HIM in every way.  

MATTHEW 11: 30   “FOR MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT.”

Let’s remember to come to HIM when we are weary and need rest and strength.  Only HE can provide all that we need spiritually and physically.  HE has the power and HE is our strength.

Rest in HIM today weary ones.

MATTHEW 11:  “COME TO ME, ALL WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.”
