A devotional from the book, “Words in the Wilderness” by our own Lorene (host of Morning Joy on Total Worship Radio) Look for this book wherever books are sold.
Come to Me and find rest. You are busy running here and there, exhausting yourself while I wait for you to see Me and come. I can give your heart rest. You excel in many things. Many want to learn from you and partake in service with you. They see you and long to be near you and discover your joy in service. But you are too busy to slow down and see them.
I have gifted you in many ways to reach many people.
My heart breaks when I see you becoming tired and wanting to quit. Look to Me and My strength. I have the perfect solution for what is weighing your heart down. I wish to use you to teach others who are just starting. I want you to come alongside them as a mentor and friend and speak words of encouragement to them.
I am pleased with your service to Me. I know that your work comes from a heart of love for the people I have placed in your life. I wish to increase your depth and take you higher. It starts by going lower in downtime with Me.
Rest. Quiet yourself. Hear and receive instruction from My heart. Let Me bless you with more. I will provide others to help you care for the blessings. Learn to love the quietness and presence of My love, like a tranquil river that flows to water you and all you touch. My love will transform your energy level when you serve Me.
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord replied, “you are worried and upset about many things. But only one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:41-42
