TOPIC: When you feel blah
‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.’
Proverbs 29:18 KJV
The word ‘perish’ conjures up images of deterioration and decay, like fruit rotting from within. On what specific day does passion leave a marriage or a worker lose interest in a job that once excited them? Like air leaking silently out of a tyre, what was meant to carry our weight and to power us towards our destiny can now barely wobble.
If that’s how you’re feeling now, read this promise, and let it take root within you:
‘He gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak. Even the youths shall be exhausted, and the young men will all give up. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint’ (Isaiah 40:29-31 TLB).
The great apostle Paul told his admirers, ‘We too are only human, like you’ (Acts 14:15 NIV). We are all made of the same flawed material. That’s why we need God’s strength and mercy newly bestowed on us each day (see Lamentations 3:22-23). So, what should you do when you’re feeling blah? Two things. First, if you’re physically tired – rest. Second, think about how God’s family works and stop isolating.
The Bible says, ‘Carry each other’s burdens’ (Galatians 6:2 NIV). The fact is, you have given to others in times past, now have the grace and humility to receive from them. Reach out. Use your connections. Start reading God’s Word. Listen to uplifting music and fill your space with praise. When you do these things, your focus will change, and your faith will start to rise.
