Sacrificing Our Energy

     Instead of using our energy to serve our flesh we must use it to serve the God of heaven and earth.
     When we are spent physically, we think we have no energy left to do anything.  Brace yourselves, dig in and pray for strength to go on.  Our life, our energy is not our own anyway.
      Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.  2 Cor 12:10 (KJV)
     Jesus Christ was an example of being physically spent but yet seemed to draw strength from a supernatural source.  Jesus wanted  several times to be alone with His Father but because there was a need among those following Him and even though He was spent, He met their needs so they could see who he really was (is).
     We too must tirelessly work for the Kingdom of God, receiving our strength from Him.  The pressures of this world are relentless threatening to drain the very existence of our energy.  God will hold you in His hand, carrying you through the stormy surge, all the while breathing a supernatural life into your soul.
