Default Hope for Burn-out Victims

Hope for Burn-out Victims

Isaiah 58:11 “And the Lord will…satisfy your desire in scorched places…and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail” (NASB).

Each morning Carolyn climbed out of bed, put on makeup, dressed, and went to work. Yet, the person who once lived inside her was gone , charred. An invisible inner machine smiled, talked, and worked. “I’m burned-out,” my friend Carolyn admitted. “I’ve fried my brain. I doubt I’ll ever be the same.”

In his book, Burnout, Myron Rush writes, “When you burn both ends of a candle, it may produce twice as much light, but the candle burns out twice as fast. People experiencing burnout suddenly discover that all of their mental, emotional and physical energies have been consumed.”

Have you ever seen the smoldering effects of a forest fire? Once luscious green trees become scorched and barren. Ground that was formerly lush with wild flowers and lacy ferns appears parched and desolate. But God’s handiwork and time can replenish what the devastating flames have stolen. And God will patiently replenish the burnout victim, too. He promises to satisfy your desire in scorched places and water your heart’s garden with a spring that will never fail.

O, Lord, please renew my scorched mind and soul.

I want to be like a well-watered garden.

Joan C. Webb
