Last Sunday I was able to attend my son’s church where they were honoring graduating seniors. 👏🏻👏🏻

During the sermon the pastor said something that got me good.

He said, “Give your energy to God.” Shots fired, Pastor Billy.

Shots fired.

You see – I’m a middle aged working mom, and in my best cornbread Daisy accent, I ain’t got no energy.

But that statement marinated in my mind for the rest of the day.

“Give your energy to God.”

Where are we putting the majority of our energy? Is God just getting our leftovers? How can we give God the energy He deserves and desires when we are literally on the verge of a catastrophic burnout.

Dramatic, I know. But it’s May, and I’m a mom with school aged kids.

It’s quite easy actually – seek Him.

Spend time with Him.

Bask in His presence.

Focus on Him.

Rest in Him.

Let God energize you from the inside out. He will. And when He does, use that energy for His Kingdom.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13
