Ever feel exhausted, physically, and mentally?
I’ve been going through that a bit lately.
One of the reasons for it may be my new laptop, although I don’t want to blame it for all my problems. It’s stupid addictive games (spider solitare and pinball) keep filling my rest-time and tiring me out with its screen glare.
Computers are obviously of the devil ;-) They blink evilly, fill your minds with rubbish, and distract you from your true calling. – Obviously evil.
Anyhow, I need a rest.
Brother Yun said it well:
The Lord God jealously desires us for himself. He is the lover of our souls. If we ever put anything before our relationship with Jesus – even our work for Jesus – then we will be ensnared. If you are burned out, Stop! Rest! Your lamp needs a constant infilling of the Lord’s oil or your light will be snuffed out. (from the book the Heavenly Man)
God can ‘raise us up on wings like eagles’ so we can ‘run and not grow weary, walk and not faint’ (Isaiah 40:31) but I think we have the responsibility to not over-run and over-walk to the point that we stop flapping our wings and crash into the mountain-side.
