Don’t you just love the advice and wisdom of people who know you really well? You know that simple, honest, heartfelt wisdom. I’ve been feeling pretty worn lately and one of my best friends left me an amazing message on my cell phone. I’ve saved it and listen to it often. It goes something like this:

“Stuart Delony.

You’re tired.

And I’m real tired.

But the Lord isn’t.

So lean on him.

He never gets tired.

Amen.”

I love my friends. They are an ever present blessing to me and my life.

Ever had those times in your life when everything feels like it’s in fast forward? You know, like being on a treadmill running and you turn it up faster than you should. Your legs feel like jelly trying to keep up. For the past few weeks it’s been like that.

God has really been moving in our ministry and, at times, it feels hard to keep up. I’m tired, but this is a good tired. I’m continually amazed what happens when you step aside and get out of the Lord’s way. Too many times I take on things that I should be giving up.

So as I enter into this weekend, beat, but I smile and know that God is moving.
