ON GETTING REFUELED

"Very early in the morning , while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went to a solitary place , where He prayed!"  Mark 1:35-36.  It seems that in a fast paced world, even in the church we seem to be on a fast track which eventually leads to burnout and fatigue.  When our automobiles run out of fuel, and I had that happen just recently, what do we do?  You got it, we simply drop by the local filling station to get more fuel.  When our bodies are hungry we feed them.  But what happens when our spiritual lives need refueling?  If Jesus is to be our heavenly model for earthly living getting away to a solitary place with the Word and prayer is a no brainer.  However most type "A" personalities find it difficult to even stop for a moment. We charge you with Psalm 46:10 this day: "Be Still & Know That I am God".  If being still is not a part of your daily experience, why not start now with a few minutes of focused time of reading and prayer. You will be encouraged with the new spiritual focus you will have by making this a priority.
