Are you weary?

“… when he wearies himself [worshiping] on the high place [of idolatry]…” Isaiah 16:12

Focus on the word, “wearies”, in this verse for a moment… What is happening in your life that is wearing you out; what is happening in your life that you are worrying about; what is happening in your life that you are about to lose your salvation over?

Now, focus on the word, “idolatry”, for a moment… Is your weariness, worry, and loss of salvation because you are focusing on someone or something other than God? Have you put God in second place in some area of your life? 

If you do find that your weary, worry, and the like, are because of some form of idolatry, then it is time to take a step back, repent and begin to put the focus back in God. The moment you do this, your heaviness will begin to lift, a new light will begin to shine, and you’ll have a little more pep in your step.  

Friends, idolatry leads into a downward spiral, but faith and hope in God lead to ease, joy, new-found energy, and contentment; but above all, you will attain a peace that goes beyond understanding.
