Malaise: The Curse of Our Age

What does God expect us to do to overcome the general feeling of malaise, uneasiness, despair, discouragement and hopelessness so common to our time? God calls on us to be zealous, repentant and filled with earnest expectation, excitement and enthusiasm. The spiritual tools God graciously gives us must be put to good use. We must run with endurance earnestly looking with expectation to the plan of God and the promise of eternal life. Living faith produces hope and godly love in our lives. Our relationship and commitment to God is key to overcoming trials which hold both the potential for growth or a plunge into malaise. As we stand daily before the judgment seat of Christ, let us focus on and rejoice in the Lord always, fight the good fight of faith and break forth into light now matter what the circumstance.
