“HOPE FOR THE WEARY!”
Matthew 11:28
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Back in 1954 my wife Joyce and I found ourselves stranded in a blinding snow storm in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We knew there was a town not too far away, but we grew weary and suffered with the cold before we found relief.
When it seemed that we could hardly walk another step we saw the lights of the small town. There was only one small hotel in the town and, with much joy and relief, we were able to get a room for the night. Not only that, the wife of the hotel manager fixed us a bite to eat since there was no café open at that time of night.
There have been other times since then that I experienced weariness. Not all of them have been from physical exertion. Sometimes the emotional trials of life cause a deeper weariness. The loss of our loved ones creates a heaviness of heart that seems to drag us down.
It is in the weary times of life that we have the blessed assurance that the Lord Himself will carry our load. The only way that will happen is when we come to Him and cast our burden on Him. The longer we hold on to the things that weigh us down, the more weary and defeated we become. God promises us His rest, but we receive it only when we come to Him. Don’t carry your burden alone!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
