Jeremiah 12:5
“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?”
Have been jogging recently. Each time when it comes to a very tiring part, I would be reminded of this verse and press on to complete the jog.
At work, this verse has become my inspiration too. I would say that my workplace is like the safe country mentioned in Jeremiah. It is a pretty cozy place to be at. Colleagues are pretty nice. Workload, though I think is heavy but still manageable. However there are times when I feel stress and tired. It’s really a time to train myself up. If I stumble in safe country, how will I manage in the thickets?
Work and ministry demands take up the bulk of my time and energy. But I trust in the Lord that as I rely on Him, He would refresh me. I also trust that as I rely on His strength, His grace would be sufficient for me.
In my weakness, Lord, You are strong. May all who see me, see the Lord who glorifies Himself in me.
