Facing a full agenda with inexhaustible energy

Jan Kassahn Keeler

Demands at home. Demands at work. As much as we may want to accomplish it all, does what it requires mean that we might also be drained or exhausted? Then it's time to understand better our true source of energy—God. His mighty strength and power are perpetual. They are inexhaustible.

One summer I had an opportunity to prove, in a small way, the validity of this truth. I was involved in a project that required weeks of intense effort. Even though the work had been managed in an intelligent way by all involved, there was simply a great deal of work to be done in a short time. I needed to stay up through the nights, with little or no sleep, for over two weeks.

Within a couple of days I began to feel extremely tired, and I realized that I was afraid of not getting enough sleep. At first, I thought that I could just push myself to endure until the project was complete, but human will and effort weren't working. It was time for a spiritually scientific approach to be taken. What I needed was not more sleep. I needed more inspiration, more of an awareness of the truth of my dominion, as God's child, over matter and material conditions.
