When Exhaustion Meets Grace — Acts 20:7-12
Eutychus was perched on a window sill at midnight, fighting sleep during Paul's sermon. When he fell, grace didn't prevent the tumble—it caught him as he fell. A devotional on rest, limits, and the God who meets us in exhaustion.
When Exhaustion Meets Grace
The sermon stretches past midnight. Your eyelids grow heavy, fighting a losing battle against sleep. Each blink lasts longer than the last. You shift in your seat, pinch your arm, try to focus on the speaker's words. But guilt creeps in with the drowsiness. What kind of believer falls asleep during church? The shame of your body's rebellion against your spirit's desire to stay engaged feels like failure written in every yawn.
