have been going through some things in my Christian walk lately, and as I was praying today,it came to me what my problem was. I had become spiritually dehydrated.Just as there are symptoms of dehydration physically, there are also symptoms of dehydration spiritually.Let's look at some.
First, dizziness may occur. Did you know that you will become a dizzy Christian without the water of the word in your life?When you get dizzy you cant stand, and your foundation is unstable.Ephesians 6:14 says to stand.In order to have a strong and sure foundation and to stand strong,I must have the water of the word.
Second, fatigue will set in.Galatians 6:9 says,"And let us not be weary in well doing.Its a good indication that your spiritually dehydrated when you find yourself to tired to do things of God. I was finding myself having to make myself go to church there for awhile, and not spending enough time in prayer, I didnt think i knew how to pray.When this happened, I realized that I needed to go back and drink in the word.Walking with God isnt hard if your hydrated with the word.
Third,you will become sloppy in your coordination. What does that mean to the Body of Christ? You'll be lax with your commitments and faithfulness in the ministry.God desirs us to be sharp and detailed in fulfilling our ministry commitments.(Colossions 1:7 and 4:7-9
Fourth, your mouth will become dry.Your confesion will wonder, and you will lose your profesion of faith, if you do not recieve a continual flow of the water of the word.Hebrews 10:23 instruct us,"Let us hold fast to the profession of our faith.Have you ever mistaken thirst for hunger? That is a tell-tale sign of dehydration in the natural.The same can occur spiritually.When you havent spent time in the Word, there will be a false hunger that sits in, and if it goes unrecognized for what it is, your thirst for the Word, you'll seek out the things of this world to satisfy your cravings.You'll think the things of this world will be what you need. But the world brings a false satisfaction and only for a short amount of time. If you drink the water of the Word on a daily basis, your thirst will be quenched.
I like what Colossians2:18:19 says. .....and not holding the Head , from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered. Made me think. Without water, the water of Life, I would dry up and become brittle.Anyone besides me ever been dehydrated?
