Lord of All!

I had intended to post this on Monday evening...just too tired! - I feel exhausted today. Much of last week I was at Peoria for Annual Conference…yesterday we had church followed by a greeter/usher workshop…today I had therapy (which I had ignored while in Peoria) and now I feel sore and exhausted. This may not be a short-term issue since tomorrow is church camp for Jill, Anna, & Bella (which means I will be tending to McKayla...pray for us!) and then on Saturday 20 of us will leave for Pine Ridge, South Dakota, for a week long mission trip on the reservation. Earlier today during my devotional time as I confessed this to God, my mind went to the familiar Isaiah 40:31, “But those who trust the LORD will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings; they will walk and run without getting tired.” I needed to hear that, but then, as I read my Scripture readings for the day, it seems as if God wanted to make sure I got it (he knows me all too well). Psalm 73:26 says, “My body and mind may fail (may?!?), but you are my strength and my choice forever.” Got it God! If you feel weary…battle worn and beaten…there is just one source for strength that will renew and sustain you, regardless of the road ahead. We call him Jesus…and he is Lord of all...even the tired!
