Languishing does seem an appropriate descriptor as the chapters often seem repetitive on blood and other bodily fluids, sacrifices, disease cleansing and rigorous food prep rituals. Those events seem to lack vitality for us in search "help" in our daily walk. But God.....has inspired all scripture so we keep trudging on.
Languishing as one studies can occur, sometimes without warning---as can languishing in one's belief. But, as Pastor Cole reminded in Sunday's message, if such "belief" languishing starts, "Believe it until you believe it."Understanding the procedure for the Israelites rituals is not as important to remember as is the truth that a Great Savior has died for all our sins!
As the father in Mark 9:24 called out, "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
Don't languish in your belief, cry out to the Lord!
