He will carry you

Sometimes we feel so tired and worn out, helpless even. Looking around, there may be no person capable of helping us along the way on our journey to restoration. At times, we feel lonely and misunderstood, and we wonder why the people around us can’t seem to find the right words to say to us. Other times, we are given more responsibilities and work on top of our already crowded schedules. Deadlines give birth to more deadlines and new tasks pop up as soon as the older ones are taken care of. It is easy to get into the habit of compromise in such situations. When we have too much on our plate, we tend to give less and less attention to detail and we end up mediocre in our output.

I was listening to Mark Schultz’s song ‘He will carry me’ and I got to thinking about my life. There are so many times when I am physically tired. I have also been emotionally, or even spiritually tired at times. The body needs rest and so does the mind. We have not been created to go nonstop, God instituted the Sabbath day for us to rest. The human being needs a day at the end of the seven day cycle to rest and we would be well advised to take the opportunity to rest.

The best part about serving God, whether in a congregation or in a workplace setting is that He is the one who refreshes us. We are able to rise up again when we fall because we know that the Creator of the universe is the wind beneath our sails, our strength and comfort. Isn’t it a great security to know that the most powerful God is the source of our strength? In your weakness, His strength is made perfect so please allow Him to show Himself strong on your behalf. He will carry you.
