Have you ever found yourself in a season of unrest?
You don't feel like you can do what you've been called to do, or you might even feel like you aren't in the right place at all.
I've been there. Transitions that I have faced have sometimes taken a toll on my confidence that I can do what I feel that I've been called to do. I've wanted to throw up my hands and run away on multiple occasions.

In those times where you feel like just giving up,
asking “what’s the point?” take comfort in the truth that God has a purpose for
it all.
- God is there, with
you, right now.
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never
leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8
Everywhere you go, God is there. More than that, He
has gone in front of you and knows what is ahead. Do not let situations or
conflict discourage you.
- God will not
disappoint you.
“And
hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our
hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given to us.” Romans 5:5
If God has promised it
to you, He will do it. It may not be on the same timetable as you would
complete it, but just keep trusting Him.
- Be enthusiastic
to bring honor to God.
“He
and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he
was zealous for the honor of his God.” Numbers 25:13
If you feel that you
have lost passion for what you do, just focus on one thing: bringing honor to
God. He will restore your passion as you focus on Him.
- Do what you do now
well.
“Whatever
you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or
planning or knowledge or wisdom.” Ecclesiastes 9:10
Once you reach the end
of your life, there is no do-over. You won’t need to work, plan, or have
knowledge and wisdom after you are gone from this earth. This is the time to do what we are called to
do, and do it well.
Sometimes we fall into states of depression or
dissatisfaction; but we don’t have to stay there. Rest on the faithful promises
from God, and allow them to inspire you to move forward just where you are right
now.
How
can you become enthusiastic for the honor of God today?
