Preperation

I recently tool a trip up to the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado. It is over 14,000 feet up. The air is thin and it can be tough to breath. I saw a guy that road up there on his Harley. It was a nice bike. I stopped to talk to him about the ride up as it is a crazy drive with not a lot of guard rails. He told me that when he arrived in Denver, he filled up his bike with a tank of gas and drove it around until the computer chip in the bike got used to the elevation so that the bike would not spit and sputter going up the mountain.
In the Kingdom of God, many want to go to the top of the mountain without the prep time. But without the prep time they end up with the spitting and sputter and not making it to the top. They end up quitting and going back down.
The Kingdom is not just Word, it's doing the Word. It's not just Spirit, it's walking in the Spirit. The Spirit and the Word preparing us for the journey we are on. We need both in our lives and we need to be active about being prepped so that we don't spit and sputter and end up quitting.
Take time today to pray in the Spirit and read the Word.

Have a great day and God bless you.
