From Ray Ortlund:
After you preach
“Be strong, and let us use our strength for our people and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.” 1 Chronicles 19:13
My brother pastor, now that you have preached and led in worship, you are tired. Good. You laid it all down. You stood strong in God’s grace, you used your strength for the people of your God. You have done your part. Way to go.
Now give it all to the Lord. He will do with it what seems good to him. And go take a nap. Next Sunday will be here soon.
Of course, for many brothers the nap will not be too long and simply refreshes us for Sunday evening meetings. Then comes the time to fully rest.
