My car needs an oil change. Now I could just ignore it and keep driving, but eventually that car will sputter and spit and break down on the side of the road. That’s the same way we are with our walk with God. When we’re saved, it’s like getting a brand new life! Everything runs great, smells great and looks good. But over time things begin to wear down. Those words you swore you’d never say again, the alcohol you swore you’d never drink again, that anger you swore you’d never show again….all these things start creeping back into your life. So, what’s the best maintenance you can give to the spiritual body? The main thing is prayer. That’s like the gas in your tank. Keep yourself prayed up and communicating with God. Also, study the Word of God. Take some time to change your oil and read the Bible! You may read or understand something that you never saw before. Finally, we all have to do our part to tell others about Jesus. This is like getting a set of new tires. When you see someone’s face light up after they come to know the Lord, you’ll have better traction do drive down that highway and tell it again. So how’s your spiritual maintenance? Is your spiritual body running smoothly? Or are you almost broken down? You can work on that right now if you need to….Me? I’ve got to go get into my outside clothes and go change that oil in my car!
