Barbara's EntourageRunning on Empty
 Our Thoughts:
Have you ever ran out of gas somewhere away from a gas station? You quickly found that you aren't going anywhere
in that vehicle without gas. Cars were made to run on gas, and that's the only thing that will make them work. 'Wishing' you had remembered to get gas when you were out
yesterday doesn't help the situation. You just have to find someone to help you out of this bind and try to remember never to let it happen again.
Like the automobile, our spirit can't run on empty either. If we let ourselves become depeleted in the area of the Word, then our spirit will fill the
consequence. Also, if we go awhile without conversing with the Father, then our spirit suffers as well. As Christians, we were meant to 'fill upon' the Word, to keep our
spirit in line with the Word. This keeps us from unbelief, thinking on things that we need to leave alone, or perhaps forgetting we serve a God who can be trusted in
every facet of our lives. The flesh is weak also, and if we are depleted in the area of spiritual things, then we may succumb to the enemy's tricks. And, believe me, he
has tricks up his sleeve!
God's Thoughts:
Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, the enemy is around every corner, just waiting to pounce on us. Help us to stay full of your Word, clothed with your armor, when he comes knocking. We give you praise. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
