Maintenance Needed

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Acts 17:11

I was out pulling weeds in my strawberry patch recently when a truck pulled up that said 'Asphalt Maintenance' on the doors. Indeed our driveway has numerous cracks that need attention soon before they get worse. 

Your spiritual life needs maintained on a daily basis too. If you let something go that needs repairs eventually it needs an overhaul. We can let our bodies go physically by not eating right and exercising then when the decision is made to get in shape it takes lots of time. Better to take care of matters when they are not so drastic. 

By getting into God's word, the Bible, daily you make Satan angry because you have put on your armor for the day. You strengthen your inner man by filling up your tank daily with God's word so if a breakdown does occur you are prepared and know better how to address it. Now go read Psalm 37 and have a good day. 

PRAYER: I know what I need to do to stay strong spiritually and that is to soak up God's word daily. Help me discipline myself to read your book more than Facebook. In Jesus' name. Amen.
