I have really tried to keep this in mind this past year, because it was a difficult year.
So here we are, at the end of 2010. As I write this, I am weary. I didn't have the strength to sing this morning, so I thought it would be an opportune time to reflect.
In my meditation, I found the answer to my present trial. As I thought about each month of 2010, I realized that every couple of months I made a major transition, or endured a major trial.
That's why I'm tired. And it is ok to know your limits. I haven't wanted to admit it to others, because I thought "They will think I am weak". But it is amazing what a little quiet time will do for your soul. It will clarify your present dilemmas.
Perhaps this is why in Psalm 46:10 God tells us to , "Be still and know that I am God".
In His presence, I find that I'm only human and not as far gone as I thought. He remembers I am "but dust".
So I can admit my weaknesses. I praise Him for quiet moments of rest that refresh the soul.
May 2011 be a year of entering into the rest of God in the midst of life's trials.
