A time to get refreshed



II Samuel 16:14 The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted.  And there he refreshed himself.

Sometimes we have experiences that are exhausting mentally, emotionally or spiritually, but those experiences do not have to keep us from “keeping on keeping on.”  We can keep moving in the right direction toward our goal of knowing God more and of growing spiritually.  That’s what David did.  It was exhausting enough to be traveling under the duress of danger from Absalom but then to have this man Shimei cursing and ranting and raving and stone throwing was also exhausting mentally and emotionally.  David just kept traveling towards his goal, even though he arrived exhausted.  BUT when he got to his destination he took some time to get refreshed.  That opportunity will come, so I need to keep traveling no matter what happens, until God provides an opportunity to get refreshed.
