What does this do to us? We start to feel scattered emotionally. We give everything we do just a half-hearted effort instead of focusing on just one or two things and giving in to them fully. Is this what we are doing in our walk with God? Are we truly giving Him the time and attention that He deserves?
Job felt like this. He said his insides were churning and suffering confronted him (Job 30:27). David felt like this and cried out to God in Psalm 102:1. When this happens, we should pray for a steadfast heart (Psalm 57:7) and we should stand firm in God because without Him, our strength and hearts may fail (Psalm 73:26).
Let nothing move us. Always give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord because our labor in the Lord is not vain! (1 Corinthians 15:58) And finally, hold firmly to our confidence in his word until the end! (Hebrews 3:14)
