There are days...
-when there is more information than I can take in
-when there are more tasks on my "to do" list than I can get to
-when life demands more strength than I have
-when the hurts here and around the world are more than I can bear
-when problems are bigger than I can solve
-when just looking at the piles on my desk or not being able to find a lost paper is enough to overwhelm an already overtaxed mind and soul
Things were never lower in Israel's history than when Jeremiah penned these words:
"Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.'"
Waiting, resting, trusting, and knowing that when I feel burdens too big for me, it my opportunity to look to the God who is big enough.

Sometimes I have to smile. God sent me here tonight because I needed to read this. Praying you have a blessed Easter.
