When you have no enthusiasm…

Psalm 13:3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death (NIV)

Life is, for most of us, a series of peaks and valleys. We have times of great enthusiasm and spirit. We can also have times of no enthusiasm, even times of depression. When we have times of great enthusiasm we can stand on the mountaintop, even thinking we are God. However, we are not God. When we are in the valley and we are down, we can think God has abandoned us. However, God never abandons us. When we are on the mountaintop and we think we have the power, God is giving us the mountain as He enables us to get to the top. When we are in the valley, God has not abandoned us, for we have either lost Him or abandoned Him. In both cases, we must remember our enthusiasm for life and life's opportunities flow into us by how thankful we are for what we have. We must remember to be thankful in times of plenty or in times of poverty. Our enthusiasm for life must not be tied to what we have or do not have. Our enthusiasm for life must remain rooted in the source of all blessings….Christ Jesus hanging from His Cross where He gave all of Himself for each of us.
