Refreshment Comes from the Lord

The Greek word for weariness is kopiao'.  It means to labor until worn out, depleted, exhausted. 
This is one of the main tool of satan.  He wants us to become  weary, worn out, or exhausted in our emotions as well as physically. This leads many times to depression and hopelessness.  I have found myself saying lately, Lord, I'm so tired.  I had to catch myself and first change what I've been saying.  Thank you Lord for giving me Your strength today.  Thank you Lord that the promises that You made me are yes and amen and are coming to pass.  Thank you Lord that I rest in You and You take care of every need and situations in my life.  I rest and trust in You alone!!! In Jesus Name!!!

The word refresh or refreshment in the Greek is Anapauo.  It's meaning is to rest, take your ease, cease from your own labors.  I like this because, even in everyday life, no matter where we are, we can be refreshed by resting and trusting in His promises.  Whenever I feel, wiped out, or stressed,  I can come and lay every care at His feet.  In these times, it has felt just like this picture.   His refreshing rain comes pouring down upon me, removing all of the negative emotions of the cares and labor that I have been trying to fix myself. 

Oh, we have a Heavenly Father and our Wonderful Lord Jesus who loves us so.  Come Holy Spirit!!!  Flood us with Your Refreshing Presence!!!
