God is never tired.

Yesterday morning, families all over Atlanta rubbed their sleepy eyes, attempted to return to their "normal" routine, and headed back to school. Spring break was over and the time changed. Whew, it was rough! Children at the Heiskell School were no different. We enjoyed being out of school last week and spending time with our families. Monday always comes though, doesn't it? Mr. Leatherman, the chaplain here at our school, shared a message in our devotion time that spoke to my heart and my tired bones. He read these verses:
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is inscrutable.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might he increases power.
Though youths may grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:28-31
Then he said the most profound and perfect thing for the Monday morning after a long week of spring break, for the Monday morning after the time changed, for a Monday morning that was cold: God is never tired! Aren't you thankful for that?
