When life is boring

Have you ever been in one of those strange reflective moods, but not know what to say? That's where I'm at right now. I've had an average week. Not good. Not bad. Nothing unexpected. It's almost... boring. You know what I'm talking about. Some of you are right there too. It always seems that when we lose that continuing drive to surrender to God that this happens. I know that's where I'm at. How about you? What is it that you need surrender? How do the people in your life need to challenge you, how do they need to push you so you can experience real life again?

Let me try and put this a different way if that's not tugging on your heartstrings. What season would you say is your favorite? Spring? Summer? Fall? Winter? Why? Now look at yourself. What characteristics of yours match your favorite season? For me, I'm a Fall guy. I like the wild unsettledness of the air. I love the trees bursting into color. I like the crisp, cold mornings with frost lightly lying over everything. That also describes how my life is when I let God take control. It's unsettled. It's feeling your heart sing praise. It's truly being alive.

It seems that when we fall into that rut, that boring life, that Satan has won. Our hearts become hardened. We stop listening to God. We stop surrendering. We stop living.

So how about you?
What is it you need to surrender?

God didn't create us to be boring.
He created us to live in Him.
