Get Equipped

Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21

How do you ‘equip’ yourself spiritually to face each day? You need to ‘stoke up’ each morning. Feed on God’s word. Watch an encouraging Christian message on TV in lieu of a morning show. I am blessed with about 8 Christian satellite stations from which to choose from. There are some awesome teachers of the word from which to choose. Morning shows may entertain but they don’t ‘equip’ you to face the challenges this world throws at you daily. 

Similar to a plant needing water and sunshine to grow healthy and strong believers need ‘spiritual fertilizer’ daily in order to thrive. Make some right choices in order for this to happen. Find an uplifting Christian radio station in your car that plays wonderful worship music and listen to it in lieu of other things that fill your mind with things to anger you. Turn away from wrong choices that you know will drag you away from the cross of Christ, this could be wrong choices in movies, books, reading material, to name a few. 

Now go into your day and knock it out of the ballpark so to speak. 

PRAYER: When I get equipped daily to go out into the world around me help me remember to shine your light upon all those I encounter. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
