I DON'T FEEL NO WAYS TIRED

O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:31.

There is a simple, yet easy song we would sing when things wasn't going good back in the day. The lyrics of part of that song is, "I don't feel no ways tired.

I've come too far from where I started from.

Nobody told me that the road would be easy.

I don't believe He brought me this far to leave me."

Life is not all made up of pleasant pastures and cooling streams. Don't let trials and disappointment overtake you; privation will come at times; we may be brought into trying places, but this is not the end. Life’s journey is not always easy—there are days filled with trials, struggles, and setbacks. But every challenge we face shapes our strength, builds our character, and brings us closer to the person we are meant to become. The road may be rough at times, but every step forward is a victory that makes the destination even more meaningful.

The Bible says, "The just shall live by his faith." Habakkuk 2:4.

Many pass long years in darkness and doubt because they do not feel as they desire. But feeling has nothing to do with faith. That faith which works by love and purifies the soul is not a matter of impulse. It ventures out upon the promises of God, firmly believing that what He has said, He is able also to perform. Our souls may be trained to believe, taught to rely upon the Word of God. That Word declares that “the just shall live by faith” Romans 1:17, not by feelings.

Conscience-stricken, we reason that we ǰhad walked with Him, we should not have suffered so. Doubt and despondency crowd into our hearts, and we say, The Lord has failed us, and we are ill-used. Why does He permit us to suffer thus? He cannot love us; if He did He would remove the difficulties from our path...

He does not always bring us to pleasant places. If He did, in our self-sufficiency we should forget that He is our helper. He longs to manifest Himself to us, and to reveal the abundant supplies at our disposal, and He permits trial and disappointment to come to us that we may realize our helplessness, and learn to call upon Him for aid. He can cause cooling streams to flow from the flinty rock.

Let us put away everything like distrust and want of faith in God. Let us commence a life of simple, childlike trust, not relying upon feeling, but upon faith. Do not dishonor God by doubting His precious promises. He wants us to believe in Him with unwavering faith.

We shall never know until we are face to face with God, when we shall see as we are seen and know as we are known, how many burdens He has borne for us, and how many burdens He would have been glad to bear, if with childlike faith we had brought them to Him...

God’s love is revealed in all His dealings with His people; and with clear, unclouded eyes, in adversity, in sickness, in disappointment, and in trial we are to behold the light of His glory in the face of Christ and trust to His guiding hand. But too often we grieve His heart by our unbelief...

God loves His children, and He longs to see them overcoming the discouragement with which Satan would overpower them. Do not give way to unbelief. Do not magnify your difficulties. The journey won’t always be easy, but it will end in victory and success with GOD. Remember the love and power that God has shown in times past.

Have a great day
