Doldrums?I was reading the other day about seamen, back in the days of wooden ships. Sailors in that day had much to fear including pirates, storms and diseases, but their greatest fear was that the ship might encounter what they called, “the doldrums”. The doldrums was an area of the ocean near the equator that was characterized by calm and very light shifting winds. It could mean death for the entire crew.
The ship’s food and water supply would be exhausted as they would drift for days or even weeks waiting for a breeze to put them back on course. If it didn’t, they would get into the doldrums and they would die.You know it is so easy for a individual, a marriage, a nation, or a business to get into the doldrums and just drift. There is a way we can keep that from happening by surrendering to the word of God, submitting to the will of God and supporting the work of God.

If you will do these things, you will not only please God, you’ll not only fulfill your purpose in this life, you will max out in doing for God and being for God what you should have done and what you could have been. Thrive away from Doldrums!!
