Be Not Weary

Be not weary in well doing. Sometimes we need to rest and let God redefine “well doing.” We may be doing things that were only for  a past season but are now an expired obedience. A one-time obedience that reaches fulfillment can become no more than a religious obligation if we embrace it beyond its season. 

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matt.11:28-30, Msg)
