Previous Daily Devotional 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 great spirit. We also have times of no enthusiasm and then depression comes. When we have times of great enthusiasm we stand on the mountaintop and we often think we are God. When we are in the valley and we are down we often think God has abandoned us. In both instances, we are wrong. When we are on the mountaintop and we think we have the power, we are wrong because it is God who gives us the mountain and it is God who enables us to get to the top. When we are in the valley, God has not abandoned us, we have abandoned Him. In both cases, we must remember our enthusiasm for life and our enthusiasm for 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 times of poverty. Our enthusiasm for life must not be tied to what we have or do not have but tied to God. God is with us in our times of need and in our times of wealth or plenty. It is God who brings us the blessings of life and it makes no difference whether the blessings are resting in our hands or whether God has yet to give them to us. Our enthusiasm for life must remain rooted in the source of all blessings. Our enthusiasm for life must remain rooted in Christ Jesus hanging from His Cross where He gave all of Himself for each of us. |
