Perpetual Motion
“Burn out,” “compassion fatigue,” “empathy exhaustion” – these are real phenomenon in Christian discipleship. They do not, however, result because of our discipleship, but rather in the places where we waver in our following God, whom Isaiah calls “everlasting.” Science tells us that a perpetual motion machine is theoretically possible, but logistically impossible. Maybe this is why Moses was so intrigued by a burning bush that was not consumed. What if our own discipleship understood the call to constant faithfulness first and foremost as a description of God and only secondarily as a call on our lives? We’d learn how desperately we need to tap into who God is, rather than rely on ourselves.
Scripture References: Exodus 3:1-12a, Isaiah 40:27-31
