Spiritually Wilted?

You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Galatians 5:7-9

Do you ever feel spiritually droopy or wilted? Similar to a plant that does not get water to keep it growing.Perhaps you have let your walk with God become too mundane and routine and have no real feeling behind it. Maybe it is your adult children who have drifted away from their faith roots and could seemingly care less about a relationship with the Lord anymore. Whatever and whoever, know that Satan is behind the lethargic attitude you or someone else gets that they no longer passionately love Jesus or feel He is necessary.

If it is someone else you are praying for to get excited and turned on to things of the Lord again, just keep praying. Don’t assume the role of ‘Holy Spirit Junior’ as it is sure to backfire. Most people reading this probably already have a desire to be closer to Jesus or would not have sought out this devotion. Keep on praying, reading good devotions, and reading God’s word. Get things out of your life that interfere with time with God such as maybe Sunday at the lake or on golf course. No guilt intended,  just saying.

The Sabbath day is a day to worship the Lord and meet together with other believers.  Some people may think they are fine and decent people without that but believers need each other. Parents are commanded to teach their children as it says in Deuteronomy 6:6-7.  Find a church you get excited to go to and go! Jesus is knocking on your doors heart. Let Him in.

PRAYER: Many times busyness of work and play leaves little time for what really matters. Oh Lord I give_____________ to you and ask you draw them to you and convict them of their need for you. Also help me not get wilted but keep nourishing my spiritual roots daily. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
