Are You Charged Up? – Firmer Ground

Consider…
Energy is essential to enabling and sustaining functionality. That said, it is to be expended to make things go. We are right to have an aversion to laziness; there is much biblical admonition against it (Prov. 6:6, 18:9, 21:25, 26:14). But we are also warned against doing too much, spreading ourselves too thin (Exo. 18:17-18). Rest and sleep are gifts from the Lord to restore us (Psa. 127:2, 23:1-2), and as such we shouldn’t neglect them. 

Pray…
My Father in Heaven, You created me in Your image (Gen 1:27, 2:2). Give me the energy to do Your work and finish strong (Phil. 4:13, 3:14). When I am overwhelmed and weary, give me the rest that restores me (Mat. 11:28-30). Help me to wait on You, knowing that You will renew my strength (Isa. 40:31). Increase in me Your Holy Spirit’s power, and I will be Your faithful witness (Acts 1:8).
In Your Son’s name, Amen.
