Life
has a way of draining us. If we’re not charging ourselves constantly, we will
begin to deplete and become ineffective.
This
is what happened to the children of Israelite. They were super excited about
the possibility of being free and enter the Promised Land. It was only days’
journey to inherit their promise. But somewhere along the way they got weary,
tired and lost their focus on the goal. They began to complain and murmur and
the short distance turned into forty years!
We
too are subject to such onslaught of the enemy. We have to stay on guard about
apathy and Luke warmness to creep in. No matter what is happening in your mind
or what you see in the natural, don’t let discouragement eat your day. Business
maybe slow but say to yourself, “Today is a day everything is going to turn
around.” Your health may not be quite up per but say to yourself, “By the
stripes of Jesus, I am healed.” Finances maybe tight and bills maybe pending
but say to yourself, “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches.”
Paul
knew young Timothy started off great but a more challenging days will be ahead
of him. “I am reminding you
to fan into flames the gift of God that is within you” (2 Timothy 1:6 ISV). I
am not Paul, but I’m reminding you to awaken the giant that is within you. I’m
praying for you today!
