Exhausted
School will be finished in a week. However, I will have no rest as I have to immediately rush off to be a student myself for the summer, but that'll only last 4 weeks. July 27 shines dimly on the horizon, a faint glimmer of hope as the pressures and stresses of work and school hover relentlessly above me.
Today's short email devotional from Max Lucado offered a moment of rest and peace for my weary soul:
"As a Christian you have all the power you need for all the problems you face.
"The Bible says your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you. The question is not “How do I get more of the Spirit?” but rather, “How can you, Holy Spirit, have more of me?”
"We’d expect a Mother Teresa-size answer! Build an orphanage. Memorize Leviticus. Bathe lepers. Do this…and be filled, we think!
"“Do this on your own and be tired,” God corrects!
"Do you desire God’s Spirit? Here’s what you do. He says “everyone who asks will receive. You know how to give good things to your children. How much more your heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him. Luke 11:13″
"You can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13) So, welcome the Spirit into every part of your heart!"

I pray today that your heart is filled with every good thing you can ask for - peace, love, happiness, and God!
