Someone once asked me, "What does it take for a young man like you to serve God the way you do." I replied and said, "EVERYTHING beloved, absolutely EVERYTHING!"
You know it is a growing reality to me how easy it is to know a lot about Jesus and yet not know Jesus. Our hearts have that tendency to make Him a concept, ignoring His reality. Theology can lead to pride if it is an end in itself. When you truly build a relationship with Him and dwell inside Christ, you will have the fullness of His attention, affection, and wholeness. This is not just the gospel or the study of scriptural truth, this is God's original idea of life.
People, unlike cars, don't have fuel indicators and as such we don't know when to step aside and refill. But what if I told you we actually do have some sort of indicator?
2 Corinthians 13:5
Put yourselves to the test and judge yourselves, to find out whether you are living in faith. Surely you know that Christ Jesus is in you? - unless you have completely failed.
In the busyness of life, juggling all things that excite us, worry us, or give us a sense of purpose, we often don't realise that we have limited energy to pour out and we definitely need time for re-fueling and time for service.
Today I want to point out some of the indicators that you are running on empty like quick to be angry rudeness, vain/ negative imaginations, unable to sit still, overeating, hate and unforgiving heart.
If these things threaten their way into your character resist the devil and watch him flee away from you. Fuel up, devotion, prayer, worship fasting, confess the Word of God. Have a lovely and purposeful Sunday. #happysunday #sticktotheword #lovetheword #fuelupyourspirit
