Thriving in Ministry Excerpt 5

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew

thee; and before thou camest forth out of

the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained

thee a prophet unto the nations.

Jeremiah 1:5

Pouring In and Out

Each morning, I fill my coffee pot to have a nice

morning cup during my devotion time. To get

coffee to pour out, water must be poured in. The

same is true in our lives. If we need the energy to go

on with our day, we must pour in the ingredients

needed to produce that energy. Eventually the pot

will be empty and unable to pour out anymore

unless it gets a refill. Make sure you are filling your

‘pot’ each day with what you need for the day.

Also, realize that you may need a refill along the

way to be able to get the job done.
