Tired Out

That's how I feel - tired out, exhausted, spent. I guess "climbing mountains" can do that to a person. I made it back down and I just want to flop on the ground and rest. I'm in that burnt out mode, where I am not motivated, can easily wallow in self-pity, and am lamenting my "thorn in the flesh." I'm not feeling so good about myself either. So, what words of wisdom should I listen to at a time like this. Actually, this week's Sunday class lesson is applicable. Here King David, knowing the end is near, gave a charge to Solomon, summarized in "Be Strong" and "Observe what the Lord requires" (walk in His ways and keep His commands). "Be Strong" implies that there will always be difficulties in life that we need to face. So, here I am. As much as the LORD has blessed me, trials and challenges are a normal part of life. Fortunately, my strength comes from the LORD. Amen! "Observe what the Lord requires", that is, to walk in His ways and keep His commands. I just need to continue to be faithful. It's like running the race. I just have to keep going; and keep trying to do what He has commanded. While my physical body is ready to give up, my spirit must be strong and keep going.
