Weary in service
This reading can only remind me of Haiti. My every ounce was spent in that service and I came home after 3 years to find my spiritual reserves completely spent. I had to take 2004 and rest and search and renew to find force to move on. But God gives it to us. I remember clearly driving to Florida and I hadn't slept. I had been through flat tires and terrible storms and every other thing trying to get this truck to Haiti. I stopped about 3 hours from Miami to get gas. I got out and pumped the gas. When I opened the door to get back I, I sunk in my shoes. God, I can't. I can't go any further. My strength has finished and I am too tired. Go, I am with you, I heard the reassurance in my heart. I was renewed and drove another 3 hours in the heat with no radio with joy in my heart. God does renew us. He does give us strength when we rely on him. When we come to him. I JUST CANT DO THIS ANYMORE ON MY OWN. I CANT DEAL! If it is in his service, he will give you the strength you need to make it.

Yes, he will. Spiritual strength is the root of all strength when you want to serve God. Other strength comes from self serving. This strength is false. I seek guidance in not being self serving but in service to God allows. This is a constant battle to find his serve and not my own.
Lord, help me to seek your service.
