FUEL YOUR FAITH - Max Lucado

Trying to control all the details of your world is exhausting. Only God has the power to see and know everything, but we forget.  And before long, we’re back at it—running too fast, working too many hours, and trying to control everyone and everything around us. What do you do when you run out of gas?

To avoid suffering from a fuel-less faith, you need to fill yourself with some high-test fuel. Try some Philippians. Like chapter 1 in verse 6: “Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” And then, in chapter 4 in verse 13: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

Fill your tank with verses like these, and remember: God is able to do what you can’t.

 

From Mike: There are times when we need encouragement to replenish our spiritual reserves. We need the uplifting words of others. Our elders and Tim are always ready and eager to provide you with that support. If you pay attention to Tim's remarks during the invitation, he encourages you to express your needs not only at that moment but also to arrange a private meeting if that better fits your needs. Talk to them!
