Check Your Reserves!

Is your spirit running on Empty?

As we go through life, there are times we have to dip into our "spiritual reserves" and pull up the inspiration, faith, resolve, or strength we need to help us get through a situation. It may be for us, it may be for someone else. But it's always good to have some spiritual ammo.

Sometimes, however, we notice that our reserves are low. We find ourselves scraping around at the bottom of barrel searching for something, anything to help us in our time of need. We cling to what little scrap we find and hold on for dear life.

Then there are those times when we find nothing. We find no word, no scripture, not even a prayer we can speak to let God know we need Him. (Hopefully these times are rare.)

It's always good to keep our reserves stocked full of spiritual sustenance for whatever may come our way. Spending time in the word, having conversations with God in prayer, attending a Bible teaching church, and other faith filled activities can help keep our larders filled.

Life has a way of taking over, and it can be difficult to find time to invest in our spiritual health. But it is an investment. And the return is valuable beyond measure.

Who knows what today holds? Who knows who may come across your path in need of a touch from God? Who knows what circumstance you will have to walk through?

Make sure you consistently make deposits into your "spiritual reserves." If your spirit is full of God's word and wisdom, you can face anything that comes your way!
