This morning I prayed something I do not ever recall praying previously. I prayed, "I turn to Your word. That is the only place I get words of life. Words that fuel me forward. Please speak for I am listening."
It is the daily time with God in His word that fuels my energy, fuels faith to overcome trials, fuels perseverance not to give up during trials, and fuels hope that God is faithful working all things for my good. I need that fresh supply of fuel that comes from the scriptures.
He fuels me to keep pressing ahead. He fuels me to keep praying, to keep laboring, and to keep believing for God's supernatural intervention in my circumstances. It is needed. We were hit with an unexpected trial that threw us for a loop today. We were surprised but God wasn't. He knew and knows. He is more than capable to fuel what is needed to press forward to pass this test.
God is fueling people forward to just get through this Thanksgiving on the heals of death in the family and people still in the grip of grief. He is helping them moment by moment as others gather with joy and they remember. Memories abound of the one they loved who is forever gone never to sit at a Thanksgiving feast again. That is tough to wrap your heart and mind around.
God fuels students forward to get through finals at the end of the semester. He fuels shift workers to get through their work schedules when their body is fatigued. He fuels people in their recovery from surgeries and diseases like cancer. He fuels people with faith when they get laid off like the lady we learned of today. In every season of life God's word has fuel to propel us forward.
I am thankful for the feast coming. Not the traditional Thanksgiving meal enjoyed by millions tomorrow. I am thankful for the bountiful feast of His word that keeps nourishing me for the road ahead. It is a never ending source An inexhaustible supply of fuel for saints all over the world. May we enjoy it and the benefits we receive from it.
