We're living lives without Sabbaths. They're supposed to be part of the created order of God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/tired-but-still-ticking-6452 2011-10-04T15:17:18-05:00 When a weary fisherman listened to Jesus in his weariest moments, he enjoyed a wonderful catch. He saw a miracle! Obey the Lord. Give, in those moments when you feel like giving out, and you will receive a surprise in return. Christ can enable you each day to be tired but still ticking. http://truewoman.com/?id=1657 2011-04-15T10:25:37-05:00 I’m realizing it’s possible for those of us who love Jesus to find ourselves in a similar place. We can push harder and harder until we become so spiritually, emotionally, and physically exhausted that we feel like we have nothing left to give. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2010/02/09/todays-devotional-squeezed-dry/ 2010-07-07T08:46:01-05:00 Have you ever been spiritually exhausted? Oswald Chambers writes about "delivering yourself over to exhaustion." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/finishing-your-race-3712 2009-09-21T10:30:37-05:00 Maybe you've been tempted to quit an assignment God has given you - and He's coming to you right now saying, "Finish the race." Run with everything you've got, not halfheartedly. Remember, He gave everything He had in His race to rescue you - and even though He was beaten and bloody, Jesus didn't quit until He had crossed the finish line. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Most-Important-Relationship/Hurried-Worried-and-Blurry-4643 2008-08-25T13:55:46-05:00 God designed us to work six days a week - not seven - and to focus on worship and rest one day out of seven. Like a car, we can't be all accelerator and no brakes or we'll be out of control and will ultimately crash. The Sabbath principle is the brakes that our creator has built into our lives to keep that from happening.
