Is Your Battery Low?

Greetings!!!

Do you have anything that is battery powered? I just got a Biblestick from Faith Comes By Hearing (biblestick.com). A Biblestick is an MP3 player that is a dedicated audio Bible. Hosanna Ministries has formatted the New Testament  into twenty-eight minute segments so that in just forty days you could listen to the entire New Testament. There is a neat little feature on this MP3 player to indicate when the battery is getting low-the volume gets low and a light flashes red and green, giving plenty of warning to change the battery. Too bad there is not a little feature built into us, a flashing light or something, to give us a signal when our spiritual battery is running low.

Is your spiritual battery in need of a charge today? I suggest that you spend some time praising God for who He is, and then open the word and read or turn it on and listen. David knew that the LORD could renew his spirit. 

Here is a portion of Psalm 103

Bless the LORD, O my soul; 

And all that is within me, bless His holy name. 

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; 

Who pardons all your iniquities; 

Who heals all your diseases; 

Who redeems your life from the pit; 

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; 

Who satisfies your years with good things, 

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. vs. 1-5

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, 

Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. vs. 8 

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, 

Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 

For high as the heavens are above the earth, 

So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. 

As far as the east is from the west, 

So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 

Just as a father has compassion on his children, 

So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 

For He Himself knows our frame; 

He is mindful that we are but dust. vs. 10-14 

Bless the LORD, all you works of His, 

In all places of His dominion; 

Bless the LORD, O my soul. vs. 22

Do not wait for your battery to run low. Recharge your spiritual battery on a daily basis. Get refreshed. Allow God to renew your spirit. Do not run on your own strength. If you do, small things will become big stressors. Hmmm. Maybe that is the flashing red light!! 

The LORD bless you with the determination to get recharged every day.

I love you,

Ruth
