Day 24- Weary, Yet Pursuing

Good Evening Ladies!

The title of today's study is perfect! Weary-Yet Pursuing. 
The reason that yesterdays post is posting today is because ladies, I am weary! I am tired! I do not have any more on my plate than any of you but I am worn out. 
Between my kids, the house, my business and the Lords work I have found myself run down. I know...I'm preaching to the choir:) 
As a woman in today's world I feel a ton of pressure to do it all and to do it well...with a smile and a killer figure! I am not quite there girls. Not by a long shot. I am actually at the point where I strive to hit the high points, making sure that the kids are taken care of and most days that I have studied Gods word. My house is usually a mess and if I am not leaving the house I stay in my jammies. For real. I watched my Mom stress out about the house, the kids, the neighbors thoughts and on and on. I just don't have it in me to do all of that worrying. Thank God! 
God has a task for each of us to complete. We need to focus on that. 
As we work through the study of Gideons story has it hit you that our problems are not new? They are ancient problems. The solution is still the same as well. Take it to God. Listen to God and stay in His word. 
We must stop running to people to solve our problems. I'm guilty of it. I go to my husband or my best girl friends with my gripes and I want sympathy. We don't really want our friends to solve our problems. We want justification or sympathy. GO TO GOD WITH YOUR PROBLEMS

When we focus on the task at hand that has been laid out by God we need to stay focused on Him. Completing His work may not be easy and it may take a while to finish. We will get weary. People will disappoint us. God will not. 

Favorite Quote from Today 

{Passion does not negate weariness; it just resolves to press beyond it.}

Isaiah 40:28-29,31

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases powers...Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. 

God is good. He provides for all of our needs. Let each of us remember that. 

Ladies, I love you and pray for you daily. Please continue to pray for me:)
