Desert days

Today I stumbled on some notes I took during a sermon a few years back, it was entitled " Do's and don't-s -- During your desert days ". I'm pretty sure everyone had a season of dryness, a season where nothing seems to be happening, where activity seem abuzz but satisfaction or purpose seem to be absent. Don't fret, here's a little something to help you along the way.

DON'T.....

1. Don't lose your balance
2. Don't make irreversible decisions during emotional low times, or rather, don't make rash decisions. 
3. Don't isolate yourself through disappointment!
4. Don't doubt in darkness what God has shown you in the light!
5. Don't lose your confidence in God
6. Don't lose your joy!
7. Don't stay in the corner through disappointment

DO....

1. Let your disappointment lead you to God
2. Make a quality decision to help people in need
3. Guard your emotional energy against emotional leaks
4. Use your desert time to get a clearer calling or goals
5. Cast your care upon God
6. Be patient with God and let patience complete it's perfect work
7. Realise that obstacles are part of God's purpose to mould and empower us
