Slump
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death. Psalm 22:14-15
Do you sometimes feel like your spiritual life is out of joint, and everything around you is turning you into wax. Do you ever feel like when you are reaching out to God that your mouth is so dry that you can't speak the words that you want to our Father in Heaven? I feel these ways from time to time, and sometimes we are in a desert with our spiritual life. Most likely we are there for a number of reasons, but the key reason is our relationship with our Father. Just like your marriage, your friendships, your love for others, the only way they grow is if you put time into those relationships. The same thing occurs with God and our relationship with Him. If we are intentional about our relationship with Him, then we won't have our bones out of joint, or feel like we are turning to wax. We will be strong and courageous, and have a mouth that is flowing like a stream with thanks and love. So get out of that slump with God and do something about it instead of complaining about why you are struggling. Remember, those who seek change will change.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
