He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.
Daniel 7:25
One of Satan’s goals is to wear out the saints. This verse even says that’s exactly what he’s going to do. What’s the saint to do? Do you know the secret to not growing weary?
I have had practice with this for the past year, with one thing after another to just bog me down. I would grow weary so quickly when I allowed my thoughts to go to the trouble. It would instantly take away my ability to get work done. It makes you just want to retreat.
But there is an alternative. It’s so simple. All I have to do is look to Jesus. I literally look at Him. I look up and see Him there. I smile. The weary burden is lifted. All I have to do is keep Jesus before me. To be in the Lord’s presence is to have the fullness of joy. There is no weariness in joy! In fact, the joy of the Lord is your strength. There’s the secret to joy. And the way to joy is to be in His presence. The way to stay in His presence is to live in the knowing of your oneness with Christ, to abide in His Word and in His love.
