Hebrews 6:10-12 For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do. Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts…. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent…
Have you ever had a fit of the dulls? Whether it’s the spiritual dulls or the physical and mental dulls I think we’ve probably all had them at some point! Some people call it the ‘Blahs’! They creep up on us when we’re not looking and very often manifest in our emotions. We start to feel as though we’re batting our heads against a brick wall and not getting anywhere. Anyone identify?
We all know the devil is the enemy of our souls, and he’d like nothing better than to discourage or depress us, to stop us in our tracks, but we have Almighty God on our side and if we’ll turn to Him for help He will raise us up above all those dull, indifferent feelings.
V.11 Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts…. This is God’s will for us, that we keep on going, keep on loving people in whatever way He has shown us to do it. Whatever it is God has graced you to do, keep doing it with love in your heart, love for people and love for God.
The end results are not our responsibility, whether we’re helping one, or a thousand and one, that privilege belongs to God. Maybe He has asked you to do something very small or maybe it’s huge, but whatever it is, do it as unto Him and know you are making a difference to somebody.🙂 Listen, God sees our efforts, and every act of obedience, every act of love on our part pleases Him and He will remember it.
So as we launch into another working week, can I encourage you to shake off the ‘dulls’ and keep loving people in whatever you do. Keep going, knowing that as we turn to God He’ll give us fresh insights, fresh inspiration, wisdom, joy, and endurance when we need it, to be a blessing to others and be blessed ourselves. God bless you. 🙂
