The Mundane Mandate

“Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.”

Psalms 23:4 AMP

If you’ve ever written, then perhaps you have come face to face with something called writer’s block.

This involves staring at the paper before you or the computer screen and just drawing blanks. You want to write, but nothing is coming to you. The feeling can be quite frustrating and even feel hopeless. 

However, there are numerous ways past this! I would say the best way is simply, live life! Opportunities have a way of presenting themselves to you around every corner when rather than focus on the stumbling block in front of you, you get busy living, giving, praising! 

Sometimes in our Christian walk, we have times like these that arise. We may feel useless, unproductive, weary, and to be frank, fed up with life. 

Why is this? I think the number one reason is that we have come to realize that this world is not our home! The old ways of doing thinking no longer satisfy, and for good reason, we have a much higher calling!!! 

Listen, we all face slumps, obstacles, challenges, setbacks, feelings of inadequacy, but I have great news for you today! The Lord is with you always, walking with you through the valleys and the times when life seems to be mundane.

He is always there to empower you, lead you, give you purpose and direction! 

Listen to this awesome quote by Pastor Jim Frease,

“If it’s been a long time since you you’ve done something for the first time, then it’s about time.” 

Sometimes we just need to get away, spend some one-on-one time with the Lord and ask Him, “Lord what would you have me do?”

When we build a habit of listening to the Lord, life will no longer feel boring or mundane and honestly, it's in these moments of the valley where we can draw even closer to the Lord, where we can focus on the things that truly matter! 


Life doesn’t have to be about, go here, do that, have that, buy this, to be fun....rather when our focus is on Jesus, He refocuses us on people, on eternity, on the things that truly matter! 

Have a case of writer’s block in your Christian walk? Run to Jesus! He is the answer! Get busy living, giving, and praising! You have a high calling on your life!!! 

In Christ.

Joshua Sott Zeitz

“Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap if we do not give in.”

Galatians 6:9 AMP
