"And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness." -Acts 4:31 (NASB)
While traveling over the Christmas holiday, I was reminded of a lesson my grandfather taught me many years ago when I traveled with my grandparents to a job interview. The interview was 8 hours from my home and required travel on the highway. As we were driving, my grandfather told me to always be prepared for unexpected detours or delays by knowing of how much fuel I have in the car and not letting it get too far below half a tank on the highway.
This advice applies to our spiritual lives as well. There are times when we are moving along in our lives, seeming to have plenty of fuel in our tanks. However, unexpected delays or detours can cause worry to creep into our minds. If we are running low on spiritual fuel, then we are easy targets for the devil. The good news is that God is always by our side, ready to refuel us and prepare us for whatever we need to get through. When we pray, God will fill us with His Holy Spirit and prepare us for bold action against the devil!
Don't let yourself get low on spiritual fuel. Pray to God and get fueled with the Holy Spirit!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always being by my side and ready to refuel me. Help me to remember to call on You so I am prepared for bold action against the devil. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
