Rock

This morning I got up early and headed to the church for prayer meeting, it was a powerful time. It is such a blessing to come together with fellow believers to intercede for others, and to hear from God. It is always amazing to spend time with my "ROCK"!


I was able to get the flat tire off of the van this morning and take the tire down to my friends at Firestone. I had noticed that there was something that looked like a  nail stuck in the tire. The experts there determined that what was actually the problem, was a "small rock" that had penetrated through the tire and was causing the problem. In just a matter of minutes the tire was repaired and I was on my way back up the hill to my van. I got the tire back on my vehicle and carried on with my day.


I started to think about what had transpired with my tire. I was reminded that my tire is like people. We get going along well in life and then something small gets in the way and takes the "air" out of us. It can be the tiniest thing that takes us off track in just seconds. When those times happen we can either stay there and be"flat" so to speak or we can get the situation dealt with and get filled back up again.


So many times people have things that happen to them that causes them to get stuck. Sadly they stay disabled for a long time. God doesn't want that for us. He wants us to get our situations taken care of and then get back on the "road of life".


Where are you? Are you deflated and defeated by life and its setbacks? Are you spending time getting your situation dealt with by the one who can reinflate you? I hope that if you are feeling like the air has been knocked out of you, that you will take a few moments and  invest in the One who can fill you up and keep you moving forward.


Remember often it is the little things that derail us!
