In this series of nine sermons turned into a book, Strength
for the Weary, Derek Thomas looks at selected passages from the second half
of the book of Isaiah to point the weary to strength.
Thomas explains that our weariness is often caused by idolatry
of one kind or another, so the answer is to put away our idols and turn to the
One and Only God.
The remedy to being weary is to look to the Lord, Who He
is, His promises, to have growing faith, hope, and obedience to the moral law.
Thomas covers a great deal of theology in this short
book, giving hope and direction to those who are weary and buffeting our hope
in the physical kingdom and the life to come when the lion and lamb lie down
together and there is no violence in all God’s holy mountain.
If you are weary, you need this book.
