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
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. |
