Usually I pack along some light snacks when I travel, like granola bars or bottled water. It’s nice to have something as a quick pick-me-up when the journey gets long.
On our faith journey, we need to take along some nourishment. Otherwise, when the road gets tough, we can get weary and have to stop. Nourishment for our Christian faith journey is found in the word of God, in prayer, in worship, and fellowship.
The word of God feeds us. “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statues of the lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. ” Psalm 19:7
Prayer connects to God. ” Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
In worship we lift our eyes from the struggle of the journey to focus on the Almighty One. “Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?” Exodus 15:11
Fellowship with others gives us encouragement for the next stage of the journey. “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another…” I John 1:7
Today, be sure to take along something to nourish your spirit.
