Burnt Out or Going for Seconds?

Lately I have felt burnt out. I want a change in my life. I want a renewal, a fire in my belly, and revival of my Spirit. I've prayed and asked for it, but all I get is be still and know I am God.  I appear to have moments of a filled or over filled cup of the Word and then empty again. I think it's called dehydration.
I'm just going through the motions, don't care if what I do matters, feel weary and burnt out, do enough to get by and fill my commitments. I hear this is a dangerous area to be in.
I see where Python has been trying to attack me, but my God's not dead therefore neither am I. But I know that I need to reexamine my commitment to God. I ask myself though, haven't I done that? I have asked for a renewal in my Spirit, a fire in my belly; which I already mentioned.
In the book of Malachi it talks about how the Honor Priest did not give God  his honor nor their best. They pretty much went into ruins, not to mention how they neglected God's house and just down right dishonored him. A I read and listened to this chapter, it made me think of our world today. WE slap God in the face, we dishonor Him, we have become tainted and defiled just as the Priest were. We are no respecters of God. IF we were I
believe there wouldn't be so much of the WIIFM radio station going on.  What's WIIFM?  What's In It For Me.
I ask the question to myself and to you, the reader, what does your worship look like? Do we go to work as though we work for the Lord or do we go just get a pay check? Do we go through the motions with our families who hurt us the most or do we ask the Lord to help us love them like He does?
I know I haven't. I may have asked in passing, but not to completely and totally reach out to God for help like the woman who was sick for 13 years of her life.I'm not even caring if I hang onto his tassels.
Sometimes, going for seconds is a good thing. To give a chef a compliment is to go to the trough a second time. Purchasing a second item at the store says you have valuable things. Is this the kind of seconds you are giving back to God? If I could get up from my chair instead of being in God's time out (like he did with Miriam in the book of Numbers, but not as severe), I think I would get up and give him by BEST.  I use to have a friend ask me when I got home from working retail and complain about my day; he would listen and wait until I finished to ask me "did you give them your best?" Your best is all you can give someone. If you are tired, weary, and burnt out, take a time out, decompress, and spend time in the word. Ask God to give you a story that you can relate to and be rejuvenated by. I am sure He will. He did it for me with Miriam and Malachi.
I don't want to spit in God's face, dishonor Him, or even give him my sloppy seconds. I choose today to be the best servant I can be when He brings me out of my time out.
