Building your spiritual energy reserves

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” - 1 Corinthians 16:13

If you’ve ever participated in a physical challenge, whether long-distance running, hiking, or team competition, you know the key to success is how well you’ve fueled your body for the endeavor ahead.

Fueling for this type of challenge isn’t something done right before the event. It begins days before—carb-loading, hydrating, and building up energy reserves that will sustain you when you become exhausted. 

The spiritual life is kinda the same way. 

It isn’t enough to wait until we face a crisis to build spiritual maturity. 

Rather, maturity is an ongoing process, something we must seek in the day-to-day and even mundane parts of our lives.

It’s a consistent habit that takes place in the office, in your marriage, on your commute, in the carpool line—and over time, builds spiritual energy that sustains us when life is hard.

How are you nourishing your soul in your daily life?

How can you fuel your soul with God’s love, grace, joy, peace, and patience now so you will be prepared when a day of crisis comes?
