Dry Period

            I have a very bad habit of being very hot and cold when it comes to spending time with Jesus. I go on hot streaks and cold streaks. The cold streaks last longer and have more frequency than the hot ones do. Coming off of the cold streaks is kind of a chore and generally isn’t too fun. I’m currently trying to end one of these cold streaks.

            This morning’s Jesus time or whatever you want to call it was kind of discouraging. I read the second half of Romans 1, and it was just dry and bland to me. I got nothing from it. Times like that really discourage me as far as trying to be consistent with diving into the Word, but I know I need to keep truckin’ on. I know there is a verse somewhere that basically says that the Word of God always accomplishes its purpose. If you know what verse that is leave it in a comment because I’d like to know it.

            I think one of the reasons that I have cold streaks for a long time is that in my mind it is easy to get doing things for Jesus and loving Jesus mixed up. Like if I am doing things for Him then I must also be loving Him too. I’m going to make more of an effort to wake up early and get into the Word daily. It needs to happen. It just sucks that I am one of the most undisciplined people ever. So if you feel like praying that I’ll be able to do so regularly that would be great.

            Now, I’m going to go to bed. I’ve got class in the morning.
