Christians Can’t Afford to Relax
“But I dare not relax until I’ve done all He’s asked lest I should leave behind an unfinished task.”
Maybe the reason the line of this old Hemphill song jumped out at me this morning is due to the fact that I’m physically tired but I’ve been pondering it all day. Humanly, I get tired but, when it comes to spiritual things and service for God, I can’t afford to relax. Life may seem to go on and on but, in the scheme of things, our time here is short and, as the saying goes, “you may be the only Jesus some folks ever see.”
There’s a reason God told us that in our weakness, He’s strong. God is all powerful, and He never sleeps or slumbers. He created us for a purpose, and He empowers us to fulfill that purpose if we rely on His strength. So I’m focusing on resting in Him knowing that He has everything under control and He will continue to use me for His glory if I refuse to faint.
