" Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them."
JOHN 12:35-36
In days of gloom and less interest seek the Lord fervently. In times of self pity and doubt abandon yourself to God's will. God takes you on many journeys - emotional roller-coasters getting you fit for his race. He provides glimpses of heaven - feelings of immense joy and perfection.
Even in your dark hour - seek the Lord - his strength - his love. Stand and praise him for allowing you to be shaped and built strong for him. In weakness, be bold for Jesus. It is here you are made perfect in his image.
There are always moments where we feel better than our typical best. We feel like we can accomplish anything. We have to hold onto these moments and hold ourselves accountable to them for the times of mundane boredom which lead to spiritual laziness.
Through the Holy Spirit the light is in you as you seek it. Seek the Lord Jesus in the mundane and tiresome just as in the times of blessing and fruitfulness.
