I got up early this morning and I had to work from 7am to 4pm and now I am tired.
There are many people all around us today that are tired. Some are physically tired.
Some people are emotionally tired.
Some are Spiritually tired. Life can be hard and sometimes it is so easy for us to lose our focus.
We get so busy with work and life's pursuits that we fail to keep our eyes and attention of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the One who can give us rest and a peace within our very hearts that surpasses all understanding.
In our everyday routine shouldn't He be on our thoughts and in our hearts. Shouldn't we be looking to Him for guidance and strength.
After all He is our Lord and Savior. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
He is worthy of our worship and praise. He is definitely worthy of our attention.
Where are our priorities in life?
Does something need to change in our lives so we can spend more time with Him and seek His will in all the circumstances that we face or will soon face in life.
Sometimes when I get too busy to spend time with the Lord I notice I start to get spiritually dry.
Sometimes I don't notice right away.
I have been in some Church services where it was really dry and sometimes I realize that it was me that was the dry one.
When I think of those times it reminds me of Ezekiel 37:1-10 which says,
"1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.
3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign LORD, you alone know.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ”
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army."
The nation of Israel needed to be restored Spiritually and physically. That is what this passage is talking about. Israel needed to be revived.
The Lord did just that.
We too need to be restored and revived.
Our Nation needs to be restored.
The Church needs to be restored in the Spiritual sense.
We believers in Christ need to be restored as well.
We need a revival.
We need a Spiritual Awakening.
Sometimes when I have my quiet time with the Lord I just ask Him to breathe on me and give me a fresh faith.
The Lord can and will do it.
Breathe on Your Church O Breath of God and Revive us.
Lord,
We come to You and we are tired.
Revive us O Lord.
Breathe on us and help us not to be so busy that we forget about You.
You are our God and we need You.
Thank You for Your goodness and mercy.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
