Are you tired? Exhausted? Beat down? Discouraged? Me too.
But don't be misled - this is fore told. It is planned and intentional.
Daniel 7:25 NLT: He will defy the Most High and oppress the Holy people of the Most High.
(The "he" is the antichrist or the Spirit of evil that is already at work)
7:25 KJ: ..... and shall wear out the saints of the Most High.
Yes, this is planned. The enemy is out to beat us down, keep us from being excited about our faith, make us complacent from exhaustion, keep us from being effective witnesses for Christ because we are so busy. He is crafty, sneaky and loves to watch us squirm with being "overwhelmed".
Mark 6:31: Jesus said, "Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile." He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his disciples didn't even have time to eat.
Acts 9:19: He ate some food and regained his strength.
The offer still stands today. Jesus is the bread of Life. He is our sustenance to live. Don't let the enemy beat you down so bad that you don't make time to "get away and eat". Shut down the roar of the world, clear out a space in the busyness and come away for some quiet with Jesus, feed on His Word, His promises and His love - regain your strength and align your focus. The enemy seeks to destroy you but Jesus seeks to encourage and enlighten you, even simply to just love on you. You can make time for him. Will you?
