A Refuge for the Weak and the Weary
Like a weary pilgrim, with flesh and spirit contending,
I yearn for Jordan and this life's ending.
Like a weary pilgrim, tent grown tattered,
Sand and windstorm rim'd, heart and eyes increasingly dimmed.
Like a weary pilgrim, travel-stained and sore,
Yet I yearn to serve until I reach heaven's door.
"For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart" (Hebrews 12:3; NASB).
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28; NASB).
"Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will real if we do not grow weary" (Galatians 6:9; NASB).
"The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him" (Nahum 1:7; NASB).
"Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His lovingkindness, to deliver their soul from death and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart rejoices in Him, because we trust in His holy name" (Psalm 33:18-21; NASB).
"The righteous cry, and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all" (Psalm 34:17-19; NASB).
"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 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 walk and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary" (Isaiah 40:28-32; NASB).
