Upkeep

 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21

Fences, cars, homes, physical body, highways, and almost everything needs upkeep to stay in good shape and workable. Upkeep is also very critical in your walk with the Lord. 

There is not a set formula to follow but in order to grow and stay strong in the Lord and be able to do battle with your enemy Satan you have to be equipped with knowledge of the word of God and make being a Christian more than just a title you assume. Setting a time of day to get some nourishment or ‘upkeep’ by reading God’s word and prayer is vital to growth in Christ. 

Hard times will come and you can better stay prepared to deal with junk when you are grounded and fixed up by staying glued together with growing in Christ. 

PRAYER: I don’t want to fall apart and be so far gone I need a major overhaul to get back together for the kingdom. I choose to follow you and not let distractions of things of the world lure me away into a broken up trap. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
