A reminder for
today
He will take our weak
mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same
power with which he will bring everything under his control. (Philippians 3:21)
How are you, my friend? Do you also feel that you just do
not want to get up in the mornings? I call this time of the year the “Tired
Chronicles”. The year is long and we have done so much, worked so hard and it
feels as if our bodies are just tired. So we get to this point where we just
not want to get up. We feel it would be better to spend the day in bed and just
sleep.
What makes other get up and go to work when we feel that we
just cannot go on anymore. You know my kids has got a lot of energy, but when
they get up and say they are just tired and they want to go to school, then you
realize the year was tough.
So what makes me get up, go to gym, come back and take the
kids to school. Go to work, break for lunch and do my second workout. Finish
work and go home. Do the dishes, wash the clothes and make supper, plus make my
food for the next day and bath the kids. You might think it is habit or a
sense of responsibility. I guess most of us go to work because we need the
money. But what makes you get up enthusiastically and willing to give it your
best.
To me it is simple, it is Jesus. It is the promise of life
that I have in Him and the gift of ability that He blesses me with. I know that
if I remain in bed the enemy won and I gave up when the fight is nearing its
end. I know that I cannot slack, but that I must be ready and prepared, because
soon He will return and will take our weak bodies and change them into glorious
bodies like His own and we will spend eternity with Him.
So today, I know you are tired but I want to urge you not to
give. Stand up and fight the good fight with me. Do not let the enemy convince
you that you are powerless. Your power is in Jesus Christ and with Him all is
possible and His gift of strength is endless. Take a moment and take a break,
but return confident and determined. You are unstoppable and when you wake up
tomorrow I want to hear the enemy say “Oh no, they are up!”.
Lord, fill us with your strength and let us fight to win
this battle. You are all we need. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
