Refueling

This week our sermon series, A Journey to Hope, focuses on how we “refuel” for the journey. When you are depleted physically, emotionally or spiritually, where do you turn to refuel? Do you turn to God or to “quick remedies” that are like”band-aids”, only covering what has led to your exhaustion?  In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was exhausted, yet he turned to God.  The disciples were tired and despite Jesus asking them to stay awake with him, fell asleep.  Too often when people are hurting they turn to things like drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling or extramarital affairs.  They get sidetracked on their journey and end up in a pit. Question to reflect on: When you are tired or discouraged, how do you refuel?
