Toored

Toord- What most pastors are on Monday morning.

Psalm 4:8, I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

I heard for years, before the Lord called me to preach and then into the pastorate, that most pastors quit on Monday morning. I’m not sure they quit because of what didn’t happen on Sunday but what they probably wanted to quit over is from being so mentally and physically exhausted they must have a short break. They need to come apart before they come a part.

Are you toored? Have you been so busy that you haven’t had a break? Take a few moments and come apart before you come a part!

BOY I’M TIRED

            The church is a workshop, not a dormitory; and every Christian man and woman is bound to help in the common cause. -MacLaren

Galatians 6:9, And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

            So often in doing what the Lord has called us to do we get overwhelmed and have to take a break. We have to, “Come a part before we come apart.” Taking this break for a short period of time can give us the strength to get us through to the other side of the mountain in front of us. It may be a day at the beach, a walk in the park, or just a night on the town with friends.

            Yes, I’m tired this Monday morning. The toil of Sunday without regular church services are taxing on this old boy! However, we may never know who we will impact with the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ when we remain faithful to what He has called us to! So, Keep On, Keeping On friend! It’ll be worth it all when we see Jesus!

TIRED BUT NOT TOO TIRED TO PRAISE JESUS!

Get off your buttocks, there's work to be done!

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

While serving in this world we can, at times, grow weary. We can even, at times, want to quit. But let me share this with you child of God—DON’T! Don’t give ear to anyone or anything that would try to convince you to quit, slow down, or give up! Why? Because it’s worth it! It’s worth every dollar you invest, every second spent, and every talent used for His honor and His glory!
