SPIRITUAL FEEBLENESS

In this tough world, everyone needs resilience, spiritual resilience above all. Each moment is a battle, walking against the rushing torrent that drives you away from the mount of God’s glory. And with every day’s spiritual warfare, I have my share of ups and downs, and yes upside downs too.

I don’t get it when someone who professes faith in Jesus Christ allows himself to be driven away from the presence of God. Alright, we all lose heart and fall at some points of our lives, who doesn’t? But allowing yourself to stay down and go along with the flow is another thing. Isn’t it that the Savior doesn’t just save us from the eternal damnation of hell? Beyond doubt, He is mighty to save us from every day’s troubles.

Unsympathetic! Ouch, yes that’s me.

It’s upsetting to see such situations, but it’s more upsetting to find myself showing little to no sympathy at all. I was just being critical until the heavens put me in their shoes.  Disheartened and downcast, and staying so, and feeling worse seeing some people (like who I was) unsympathetic. I don’t get myself also while in this dilemma. I know the solution, the way out but I just can’t understand why I am allowing myself to stay down.

I have come to realize that it’s not really the troubles or any difficult or hurtful situation that made me stay down, it’s my spiritual feebleness. I’ve been through this and that but why now I am failing over and over again? The difference: I am battling with my own strength, my own way. It’s awfully my bad to think I can do it on my own when in fact the battle is not mine but my Savior’s. I didn’t pray, I didn’t confer with Him. I was confident to take the battle without any armor and obviously I failed and failed and failed and never win until I allowed my Savior to come to my rescue.
