Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. Isaiah 40:28 NIV
At this moment in time I think I would love to never grow tired or weary. I love working hard and feeling that victory tired at the end of the day. It gives me that feeling of accomplishment. But after 3 or 4 hours at a martial arts tournament, the victory tired is more like victory busted. It's tough to compete and work a tournament. As a high rank student and instructor you are pulled ten ways to none. You're helping students, judging rings, cheering on your teammates and then cleaning floors or putting up mats. It's 2 days of non stop. And it's awesome. But it wears us down and come Sunday, that's it...we're done.
I'm so glad God isn't like that. He may have rested on the 7th day after creation, but I think that was more for creation's benefit than his. God doesn't take naps. He doesn't take Sundays off when the weekend's been too hard. He always shows up pressed and dressed and ready to work. His omniscience is such that we cannot even fathom what it might be like to have never ending energy. Well, ok, just watch 7 year old little boys...they have energy we should bottle up and sell. But even they run out eventually. God never does.
He is everywhere. He is in everything. Let his strength and energy take you through when yours is gone.
