so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God.”

LEAKAGE

 

A worn and threadbare tire can spring a leak most anytime.

Like worn and frazzled people, taut nerves aren’t worth a dime.

 

Leakage causes damage. Leakage wears one thin.

Leakage is a definite warning suggesting opportunities to sin.

 

Leakage will not happen if we keep our lives in repair.

Leakage only follows if time is never spent in prayer.

 

Beware of danger lurking. Be alert to weakness and sin.

Leakage will only happen, if worldliness enters in.

 

Beware of danger lurking if less time is spent with the Lord.

Anything coming between you, is Satan’s subtle springboard.

 

Opinions, fears and frustrations can create a place to leak

Truth and faith with obedience is the formula to daily seek.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: A leaking tire can be a subtle weakness. Think about what might cause subtle leaks in the Christian Walk. What preventative measures might be taken to prevent leaks occurring? Can Christians sustain spiritual “blow outs”? What are the coping tools you use in emergencies? Journal how you might help others cope.

 

DEAR LORD, Thank you for the strength you give me when life’s weaknesses drain me. Thank you for the loving way you bring help from the Body of Christ. Thank you for lifting the loneliness in my time of need. Sometimes Lord, the whole picture is overwhelming, like a “blow-out” but with You in my life I only need take one step at a time. Help me to keep looking to You knowing that You see the end from the beginning and will bring the strength I need, when I need it. Your timing is always accurate. In Jesus” Name, AMEN
