Verse
Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality. (Romans 12:11-13 MSG)
My Word or Phrase
Fueled & aflame
My Image
As I read this I have a fireplace “burning” on my TV. To keep this fire going one need to add fuel – otherwise it will burn out. We need to continually fuel out soul – reading, prayer, silence, solitude, serving to keep from burning out.
My Invitation
My invitation is to remember to feed my soul – being intentional about setting aside time to be present with God, being intentional about serving others but also seeing God in those impromptu situations where He reveals Himself to me in unexpected ways (like me playing the fireplace video before I had even picked these verses to meditate on).
How is your fire burning? Is it a roaring blaze, a comfortable fire, a pile of embers waiting to be fanned back to life, or is it a cold pile of ashes that needs a new spark to come back to life?
