Last week for my family’s vacation, we drove down to Florida. And on the way, I discovered a product that really opened my eyes…literally. It was a 5-Hour Energy Drink. We drove through the night on the way down and at about 1AM, we needed to refuel. I also needed to wake up, so I tried this energy drink and I was wide awake all through the night! It’s funny how when something works, when something is the real deal, we cannot help but talk about it.
That really caused me to think about the Christian faith. Do we brim to talk about our faith because it is the real deal, because we have truly experienced freedom and joy and new life? Or has it gotten stale or ho-hum because we have forgotten what it meant to receive Christ and experience that first gust of energy and renewal? Or have we never actually tasted the goodness of God and settled for a Jesus-Lite substitute?
I encourage you to take some time this week to reflect on the goodness of God and the greatness of the Cross and resurrection and ask the Spirit of God to renew you again.
