Hello, everyone I hope your summer is going well. I'm sure most of you
have been traveling, whether that is on vacation, roping's, rodeo's
etc...., but what ever the reason it is easy to get so busy during the
summer months that you can let your relationship with God slip some. If
that is you, I want to encourage you to stir yourself up and keep
yourself in a place where your relationship with God is still the number
one priority.
The word stirred up in itself means to fan into full flame, re-kindle. Like a fire or something like that. If you build a fire and go off for a long amount of time doing other things it will go out or at least die down. Well to get it back to the place you once had it you will have to give it some attention, maybe add another log on the fire, stoke it a little bit. Your relationship with the Lord can be the same way. At one time you could have had a great relationship with the Lord and then because of the busyness of life you don't give it as much attention as you once did and it dies down. Well start today to rekindle that fire. Give it some attention. Maybe your gone every weekend and think "how can I stir myself up like that"? There are several things you can do. Get some teaching CD's, download a podcast, stay in relationship with Godly people, start spending sometime reading your bible. There are different ways that you can stay stirred up. I know when I was rodeoing all the time things like this really helped me to stay stirred up and be a light to the people around me. You can do it! You can stay stirred up and be who God has called you to be. If you have any questions, need prayer for anything, or would like to download our podcast please feel free to contact me. Go to believersway.com and go to the Midland church. I look forward to hearing from you soon. God Bless! -- Trey Johnson
