Refreshes
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:6-8
Certain times of the year can be draining, both physically and spiritually when we sit around and think we have to please everyone or do everything to make sure everyone else is pleased. I know many times we can get caught up in what other people are doing and how they are seemingly in a position that we wish we were in spiritually, but let me remind you that not everything is as it seems. Each person is at different stages in their life, and there are roller coasters even for the most outwardly spiritual. We have to remember that it is not us who make ourselves more spiritual, but it is our perfect Lord in Heaven above who makes us this way. Living with joy in our heart is the most simple way to start and one way that makes our spirituality flow, because God is refreshing and provides that which we need. So when you are not feeling refreshed, lean into God and have Him guide you spiritually, instead of chasing the perfect holiday season that tends to lose our focus on the Lord.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
