Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you had come forth from Egypt. How he did not fear God, but when you were faint and weary he attacked you along the way and cut off all the stragglers at your rear. Deuteronomy 25:17-18
Life point: When weariness attacks!
Amalek’s attack on the Isrealites is a type and shadow of Satan and the method he uses to assault, hinder and stop believers today. Amalek chose to attack the Israelites when they were faint and weary.
Satan tries to wear us down to the point of exhaustion so that once we are in that position, he can intensify his attack to bring us down.
If you, a Christian, are struggling with weariness, if you want to just give up and quit, you are not alone. Satan is bringing this attack of weariness on the body of Christ to keep us from receiving the harvest God has for us. And God is preparing a great spiritual harvest!
When we plant seed in the natural world, a lot happens underground that we cannot see. The root system needs to grow and be established before we notice any harvest. Because God’s kingdom is based on the principle of seed planting and harvest ( Mark 4:26-2). God is doing much work under the ground, out of our sight, to bring our planted seeds to fruition.
This growing stage is the point when many of us become weary and want to faint. When we are doing everything we know to do in God and we are doing it again and again without seeing the results we desire in the natural world, we can become weary in well-doing.
We may have planted our seeds of obedience in faithfulness and diligence, but we have lost sight of the manner in which the kingdom of God operates to grow fruit.
We need to remember the wonderful promise of Galatians 6:9 “ And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint”.
When the enemy attacks you in times of weakness or fatigue, stir up your courage, muster your strength, and rise up against him with the truth of God’s Word!
Child of God this a good time to behave as a bold, aggressive lion.
Prayer: My Father and my God empower me to finish strong and not to fall the time of weariness in Jesus powerful name!
