13 Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Unbelievers! They are starving for the gospel, and have it right in front of them, but deny it. I don't know if this scripture means exactly that, because, let's face it, who really knows what Isaiah is talking about half the time? But that's what it came across to me as. When you aren't progressing spiritually, it's like you're dead inside. Maybe not to that extreme, but I know that I can definitely feel the difference when I am not progressing spiritually. It's like kind of a numb or empty feeling. I feel like I am less likely to feel the Spirit or have the desire to go to church, or do my calling (which I do not have right now...). It's not easy to get back into, but once you form the habit of reading the scriptures, or conference talks, or articles in the ensign, and praying, small and simple stuff, it really does have a major influence. It's a slow start, but once you start to notice how much your day is affected if you forget, then you know what you are doing is right and good and IMPORTANT!!
