Running On Empty

Do you feel like you’re not getting anywhere? Does life feel like a full speed treadmill and you’re running out of energy?

“You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” (Haggai 1:6 NIV)

The captives who had returned to the land were worn out. It wasn’t because they had exhausted all their efforts honoring God—serving others, being a godly parent or sharing the gospel. They were running on empty, because they were neglecting God. They were chasing the things that don’t satisfy.

What are you chasing? If you’re pursuing being God filled, you will never be running on empty.
