Energy Levels Wane

Beware of the summertime slump…

You won’t be to blame; energy levels wane during hot weather. In no way do we feel in step with the Ever Ready Bunny.

Pay attention to signals of weakness. Our ebb in energy might not be caused by high temperature readings alone. Sometimes sin can be a root cause. King David discovered the reason for his lack of vitality.

“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah (Psalms 32:1-4 NKJV).”

In humility, David confessed his sin to the LORD…

“I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,’
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah (Psalms 32:5 NKJV).”

To God be the glory, His strength is made perfect through my weakness.

“And He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me (2 Corinthians 12:9 NKJV).”
