The devotion that I read this morning on our church's website was much needed.
________________________________________________________
I've been dragging a little this week. I had a serious case of the Monday's on Monday and I didn't want to go into work (but, of course, I did). Add the fact that Chris left for another trip on Saturday. So this was a good reminder that he energizes us when we get tired! I've heard these verses many times before, but I just love how it reads in The Message.
I hope that this will also give you a little encouragement and pick-me-up today.

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We only have today. Let us begin.” — Mother Teresa
28 Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening?
God doesn’t come and go. God lasts.
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn’t get tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
29 He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
30 For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
31 But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don’t get tired,
they walk and don’t lag behind.
– Isaiah 40:28-31 (MSG)
Energize my soul, O God. You are my source, my strength… enable me to run hard after you. Today.
