Weary of Heart

"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you will be comforted in Jerusalem." Isaiah 66:13

Our God is not weak. He is strong and powerful. And yet he is also gentle and tender like a mother hen is to her chicks. He comforts his children like a mother comforts her young. He gathers us in His arms like a shepherd gathers his sheep, if we are willing.

So, when we, his followers, and his servants, grow weak and tired; when we are sad or feeling lonely or forgotten; or when we lack the physical or emotional strength to keep going because of hardship, persecution and trouble in our lives, he brings us comfort. 

He quiets our anxious hearts and fills us with his peace when we call on him in truth, trusting in his love and mercy. He will never leave us or forsake us. He knows what we are going through. He has not forgotten us. He will empower us and give us strength to endure, if we trust him.

Weary of Heart  

An Original Work / January 23, 2016

Based off Isaiah 40 

 

You who bring the Good News,

Lift up your voice.

Do not fear. Shout it out:

“Here is your God!”

The sovereign Lord comes

With power and strength.

He gathers His tender lambs

In His arms.

Lift up your eyes and look:

“Who made all things?”

God, our creator knows

All about you.

Your cause is not 

Disregarded by God.

He will not leave; 

He’ll not abandon you.

When you are troubled

And weary of heart,

Trust the Lord with your life.

Do not despair.

He will empower you;

Strengthen within.

Soar on wings like eagles,

Walk and not faint.
