Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
Today is the Veedersburg Fun Fest in downtown Veedersburg. I will be set up with my books. Last night, I received notification that the latest one, ‘Family Under Siege … Spiritual Warfare’, is ready for me to get my author copies. I just looked, and Amazon does have it on its market for both eBook and paperback. Check it out.
Yesterday, my Keurig decided to light the descaling light. This means, basically, that it needs to be cleaned. I have done it one other time since I have had it and to be honest, I do not remember the combination of buttons that I need to push to make it do that. So, I guess that after today’s event, I will be studying up on how to fix this. I do know that if I ignore it, my morning nectar machine will go on strike…so this must be a priority.
It is funny, as I was writing this out, He told me that this is me. I am the Keurig that needs descaling. Where my nectar machine may only need this function performed two or three times a year, I need descaling so much more. Descaling from the world’s influence. Descaling from the enemy’s advances. Descaling from my own thoughts.
Too often, we get into a mindset that we can do this and that without any help. We can fix this, or if we do this, that will be fine … I am not talking physical fixes either … I am talking spiritual fixes. This I can personally attest to. Far too many times, I thought if I just read my bible more, everything would work out … problem is, that would last for about 15 minutes max on the first day and then not again. I would set my mind to pray … then a few days into it, I would forget. I am a writer, I will journal….nope. Why did all these attempts fail? They failed because I tried to do them in my own strength. Karalee strength. With no one to support my…me strength. I was all I needed. That is the biggest and most well-used lie that the enemy uses and has the highest rate of success.
As believers, we need the fuel of fellow believers. Look at it like this, you have two campfires burning and being fueled, but … if those two campfires connect, you have a bigger and stronger fire.
You can study on your own. Pray on your own. Witness on your own. Worship on your own. Yes, you can do all these things on your own, but … but when you add a second or third or fourth or more … the experience is so much deeper and fulfilling. Absolutely, we need our quiet time with Him, but do not short yourself out of fellowship and worship time … those times are needed to keep the tank full and spirit high.
Be blessed.
