Work, Struggle, When's The Next Break?

This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers. 1 Timothy 4:10

That's it, sorry, it's Monday again. Struggle to awaken, put on the work clothes, and let's go at it one more time. Then we can wonder when the next break will come.

There will come a time, probably already has occurred for you more than once, when we don't think we can get up for yet another work day. A rough weekend expending too much energy or simply one of those 'too short' weekends, and we will face another Monday. Seeking energy in the self, counting on a chemical stimulant, hoping for a break, we trudge off to the toil. Sounds so very depressing, eh? Perhaps we seek our strength for the yoke in the wrong source.

Paul stated in a couple of his letters that our hope is in God. No matter how we feel on a Monday morning, the strength to endure another work week comes from God. We are much too weak to endure this toil and struggle on our own. Many there are who will not give the glory to God for the strength to endure, but many are we who will give God His glory and thank Him for the strength to work.

Thank You, dear Lord, for work and the strength to work on this fine Monday!
