The word that sustains the weary is that the teacher knows a
thing or two about suffering. He has endured far more than verbal ridicule and
yet morning by morning remains confident of God’s presence and help. It is one
thing to suffer and quite another to suffer alone. That is a disgrace the
teacher could not long endure which is how laments become songs of praise even
when one continues to suffer at the hands of the unjust. The teacher who
endured the cross for the sake of the world is more than able to sustain us
with a “morning by morning” word of peace that surpasses the world’s ability to
understand. Therefore, like the One who teaches us, we do not turn back or rebel against difficult things
done for the sake of the weary.
