Day 11: Only Human

I am so tired. I've almost fallen asleep at least half a dozen times before even beginning to write this. I woke up early and had a long day of work, and I'm ready for a good rest, but I don't want to neglect my goal of posting every day.

Everyone on earth gets tired. God is the only being who is perpetually powerful. God doesn't grow weary or weak like humans. In fact, He gives US His strength when we need it for ourselves.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
~2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (KJV)

Sure, we can see and/or use energy drinks and vitamins and pills to keep us awake, but they're only temporary. God's strength is eternal, even if no one can see it. It really is true what they say: "The best things in life are unseen. That's why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream." We may not be able to actually see God, but that is the beauty of it... it makes you focus on His blessings and miracles rather than what He looks like.

Lord, I wish I would have had more time to spend on this post. I feel like I rushed it, but I wanted to put something down. Please let my family, my friends, and me all sleep well and wake up feeling rested and refreshed. Let us learn to value the unseen, eternal things... for those are the things You have given to us. Lord, please forgive me of my sins, and continue to guide me and walk with me on Your glorious and beautiful path. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Love and God Bless,
