Fear and fatigue
June 22, 2017
Life comes with two guarantees: fear and fatigue. Unpredictable, unwanted, a part of working, loving, facing illness and unwanted change. Fear facing a medical diagnosis, a relationship fracture. Fatigue from hard work, stress. These two are important signals! Follow close to your Creator, lean into Him more than ever.
We’re vulnerable when fear and fatigue shrink our band width for trusting God. Isaiah 40: 10–11 reminds us that our Sovereign Lord comes with power and the gentleness of a shepherd. We need both. Trust in His power to face down whatever frightens us. And knowing He will lift us and carry us when we can no longer put one foot in front of the other.
Are you fearful and weary? Our sovereign Lord signals us to stay close.
