Sit with Him

What happens when we get tired?

Because we get tired. Too tired of waiting for prayers to be answered. Too tired of pain, too tired of being used and manipulated by people, tired of sicknesses and the struggles of the world. 

What happens when all these burdens are on your shoulders?

We get tired because we are human. 

It’s okay and very much acceptable. 

Even the same God who created you, Jesus, got tired. Many at times He rested with His disciples after long journeys. And on the cross He also cried out to The Father pleading that the cup be lifted from Him. He was in too much pain; He was tired!

Being weary doesn’t mean you are weak. 

A lot of places that we sit to rest when we are tired just drown us the more. We go to people to inform us on how to live, we depend upon our limited human judgments to make critical decisions…

When the disciples sat by Him, they received wisdom and understood their mission on earth.

When men and women gathered at the feet of Jesus blessings and healings were received. People get encouraged and saved at His feet.

When the Samaritan woman at the well met Jesus, she understood herself better. She met someone who knew her deepest secrets. She got saved.

No amount of sleep, drugs, pacing about, Netflix can give you rest. It’s only God who can. For those who are tired, Sit by Him for a moment.

Isaiah 40:31

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Mathew 11:28

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
