Don't run out of gas!

Watching someone you care about get lost on a path of destruction has to be one of the hardest roadblocks in life.  I am sure any Atlas on Life you might check would predict trouble ahead, but how many people actually read The Book?  Most of us probably skim through and touch on the highlights, but very few actually study it.  We have the tendency to try and find our own way.  Many of us must come to the very end of the road before we will seek help.  The hardest part is swallowing our pride and asking for help.  Until we pull over and get directions, our lives will be a vicious circle of intersecting highways.  Don't wait until you run out of gas...it may be too late.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. -Matthew 6:33

I believe asking for help is always the hardest to do.

Dear Lord:
Please help me to always be a power of example;
Never a Preacher or bearer of burdens!
And to remember that these things are possible with you, through me....
Amen
