Where are the dry spots in your soul? Do you even know what you are thirsting for? As we begin this new week, turn to God to refresh those arid places in your mind, your heart, your spirit, and sing along with the psalmist: "My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me."

It is beautiful to rest in the confidence that whether we stumble or fail, the gifts God has given us are ours to keep -- and God's call to use those gifts, to go deeper into our faith life, will never be silent. How can you take the confidence with which this verse is filled into the week ahead? How can you refresh your commitment to use your gifts in God's service?
