Refuelling is not an optional extra for the Christian life. It is an essential practice and something that must be done on a regular basis. It is not just for the faint of heart or the weak. Even the strong tire and become weary. Even the young run out of energy.
Listen to what the prophet Isaiah had to say about this …
Isa 40:28-31. Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no-one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. NIV
Refuelling takes time and intentional effort. Most often it requires you to stop what you are doing and engage in a refuelling moment. But refuelling is essential if we are going to run our race well, let alone finish what God has called us to be and do. Pray and believe for the Holy Spirit to refuel you today. God wants to continually fill us with his love, power and wisdom for our journey.
