Proverbs 21:16 says “A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead.”
Spiritual wandering can be brought on by numerous outside forces. These difficult situations come to us all. No one is immune to the struggles of life. Some people handle small amounts of difficulty, some can handle more. But, everyone has a breaking point. Case in point, me. Recently my father became ill. His health is in decline and I am his primary care giver. Caring for my father in his time of need has been very difficult. I’ve recently noticed my prayer life has declined, my personal study time has decreased and my overall spiritual health seems to be on life support. I’m in a valley of “blah” and I hate it. I’m unable to have a routine schedule , my life feels completely out of sync and I’m just plain tired of this situation. Truth be told, I need a break which can lead to a breakthrough. I need something to give and that something is a someone, and that someone is me. I need to pray, I need to study, I need to return from the valley of death from my own wandering and seek the mountain of life……
Praise God that He never foresakes us, foresakes me or foresakes you. Repent & Return & Rest
