Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor. Proverbs 21:21 NIV
I hope this doesn't apply when you're so tired and stressed that you are irritable and not very honorable. But then again I know well enough that the word of God applies no matter how we are physically feeling. It's also a good thing that God understands we may not feel very honorable or prosperous at times.
It's certainly been that way for me. It's been a rough few weeks and I'm more than ready for some relief. I don't know when it will come. But I do know that as I love through each day God cares about each step I'm taking. No matter what my feelings are, his spirit guides me in love and righteousness, putting me where I need to be and ensuring I don't stray too far. That assurance is enough to keep me moving.
So when you don't feel you can pursue love and righteousness, know that God's spirit will do the lift for you.
