Daily Devotional – 2/20/14 “Recharge yourself!”

On yesterday I told you that you need to stop making things harder and you do because while you’re so busy worrying about the souls of those unsaved, you’ve forgotten about your own. I mean, how can you help others when you’re not even helping yourself? Yea, you pray for folk but what about praying for yourself? You encourage others but when will you encourage yourself. You’re always there for everybody else but when will you take time for yourself? Please don’t get me wrong because I am not saying that you need to stop doing everything God has asked of you but what I am saying is take a day for yourself to recharge. It’s like a battery, either you’re rechargeable or you’re not. Now, if you’re not rechargeable then when you’ve been used up, you’ll be cast away, thrown to the side because you are no longer usable but get this … if you’re rechargeable and you haven’t been charged then you too are no longer usable because who can use something dead? I’m just asking. You do know that recharge means to renew something such as somebody’s energy, right? Then when will you recharge yourself? Don’t you know that when you recharge yourself you’re renewing the strength of God’s light that is within you? When you recharge yourself, you’re revitalizing the spirit, the Holy Spirit that is on the inside of you that you’ll need to intercede on those moments when you’re running low. When you recharge yourself, you’re reviving the life that God has blessed you to live in order to live. Every now and then, recharge yourself because there will come a time when your light will go out never to shine again, the blood in your veins will cease to flow, your heart will no longer beat and your eyes will no longer open and at that time recharging won’t matter. So, while you have the time, recharge yourself!
