Recently I noticed that I was feeling tired and a little drained physically, mentally and spiritually.
I’ve felt this before and when it happens it’s a sign for me to take time for renewal.
This means I need more physical rest, mentally I need to clear out some things and spiritually I need to be renewed by His word.
Some of you may be feeling this same kind of fatigue right now. Your initial thought is to just push through it and it will get better. And yes, there are times, especially with your physical being, that you do need to just push through it.
But when you feel the type of fatigue that hits you physically, mentally and spiritually, it’s time to rest and be renewed.
In these times just pushing through won’t help you. I’ve found in these times I’m weakened and susceptible to the attack of the enemy. Physically, my body is in a state where without rest my workouts are not effective. I become discouraged with them and no longer look forward to the workouts. Mentally, there is so much going on in my head that I lose focus on the things I truly need to accomplish. Spiritually, I become open to listening to the lies instead of focusing on the truths in His word.
The outward reflection of all this is me being tired, short of patience and full of doubt. How many of you can relate to this?
This is why taking the time to renew your body, mind and spirit is so important. Does this mean you’ve stopped pursuing your goals? No not at all. What you are doing is pausing on the path to be renewed for the journey ahead. You are still on the journey and the path is right in front of you!
