Life has its ups and downs; its cycles of life; some good, some bad. I rejoice because I live in the midst of a godly world. I complain, “Woe is me,” because I live in the midst of an ungodly world. Yet, even in my weariness and the “woe is me” moments, I have endurance because I God.
Weary
I am:
Willing through Your instilling,
Earnest though tarnished,
Able and stable,
Ready and steady,
Yearning and still learning.

“Woe to me…” Psalm 120:5a
“Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we not grow weary.” Galatians 6:9
My first thought this morning when I woke was that I cannot change yesterday, but I can change today and look forward with hope for tomorrow. I was going to write about that, but then I read the above verse and asked the question, “What’s in it for me?” With that thought came the next, “Life is not about me.” I should never lose heart in working toward a dream or doing for someone else regarding of whether I see results or whether it benefits me. Persevere anyway! Never grow weary. There is a purpose, and only God knows.
