Four verses for today
1Galatians 6:9
Read in contextLet us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Paul says to keep doing good because tired people can lose heart. It promises a harvest in God's time, not a quick result.
2Hebrews 12:3
Read in contextConsider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
When you're worn down, look at Jesus, who endured much more. That's how you keep from losing heart.
3Isaiah 40:31
Read in contextBut those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
Strength comes from waiting on the Lord. It's given to the tired, not the already strong.
41 Corinthians 15:58
Read in contextTherefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable. Always excel in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Paul tells the church their work for the Lord counts, even when you can't see what it's doing.
Verses from the Berean Standard Bible.
A prayer
God, I'm worn out and part of me wants to stop. Give me strength for today and help me trust that what I do for you matters. Show me if I need rest, and help me not quit just because I'm tired. Amen.
