"He has filled the hungry with good things and send the rich away with empty hands." (Luke 1:53)

After
opening my bible this morning, I was so touched with a feeling of
thankfulness. How uplifting is the sound of God's Word to a weary soul.
Jesus promises in Matthew 11, "Come to me you who are weary and carry
heavy burdens. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you because I am
humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For
my yoke is easy to bear and the burden I give you is light."
God loves to raise us up from a place of weariness to a place where we can thrive. The Bible says that
In God's presence there is fullness of joy. Have you been
to a prayer meeting where you arrive tired but when you leave, you are
energized and fired up? I have been there many times. Which reminds me
of a favorite story in Numbers 21:17, God
said to Moses, "Assemble the people so I may give them water." Then
Israel sang "Spring up, O, well!" In the story, the children of Israel
were getting closer to the promised land and God provided them with the
much needed nourishment to keep them on their journey onwards. And they
received it with joy and thankfulness.

I hear the sounds of the birds singing a lot more now in the mornings. The season is changing and there is fresh hope in the air for all of God's creation. Our Heavenly Father, our Creator will not forget the nameless trees that have been battered and tossed around in the winter rains, by the winds and the storms (tiredness, weariness). The leaves, the flowers, the fruits will soon grace the branches that are bare and looking deprived. As trees in God's garden, we will be identified by our leaves and our fruits. God is nearer than we think and He is bringing us to a new season and to a new level of maturity.
Let's pray,
Lord Jesus, cause us to come and sit at Your feet. Strip away all our excuses, barriers and hindrances. Quieten our souls so we can hear above the noises of life your voice calling us to come closer to your heart... where our minds can be sharpened and be made alert.
For your Name and for your Glory, Amen.
