Oh Soul, Are You Weary and Troubled?

Posted bySteven WalesPosted inGod is Good, God Who Sees and HearsTags:, ,

All of us know weariness.  All of us have been tired, exhausted, depressed, and worn down by grief and struggles.  But does God become weary? Do our troubles affect him, or is he impervious?

Yes, our problems affect God. When the children of Israel cried out to God about their slavery in Egypt, He said their cry reached him.  And when the nation was oppressed by the Canaanites, they again cried out to God.

“So they got rid of the foreign gods among them and worshipped the Lord, and HE BECAME WEARY OF ISRAEL’S MISERY” Judges 10:16.

If you are miserable today, be encouraged—God will become weary of your misery.  He DOES care and He will deliver you.

Talk to the God who loves you.  Praise God and thank Him for His compassion.  Thank Him that He SEES your misery.   He KNOWS your suffering and your struggles.  And He will BECOME WEARY OF YOUR MISERY. He will deliver you.

God, we praise you for your infinite love and compassion.  Thank you that you are touched by our struggles and you do not want to watch us suffer.  Thank you for the deliverance that IS COMING.  And until it does, help us to walk by faith, knowing that we are growing in you through everything that we suffer.  Make us more like you every day.

Dad's Daily Devotional began as text messages to my family. I wanted my teenagers to know their father was reading the Bible. But they were at school by then. Initially, I sent them a favorite verse or an insight based on what I read each day. That grew into drafting a devotional readng which I would send them via text. I work as an attorney and an adjunct professor, and recently wrote a book called HOW TO MAKE A'S.
