April 8, 2017 - Ability

It is very hard to work without nourishment, at times impossible.  Without food, drink, or rest, our body literally shuts down.  We have no strength.  Our thoughts become clouded.  Decisions are hard and mistakes happen more easily.  Our physical bodies reflect our soul.  Just as we require sustenance and rest to function properly physically, we must equally have these items for our spiritual needs.  Fueling ourselves with the Word of God; finding Him in prayer, almsgiving, and service to others and seeking rest in His peace gives us strength, wisdom and endurance to live and work in His Kingdom.

Cause me to understand the way of your precepts that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.  - Psalms 119:27
