This week I had to spend a little over $1700 on repairs on my truck. I had to put new tires on because the alignment wasn't right and because they weren't rotated regularly. I also had to put new brake rotors all around because the brake pads weren't replaced when they should have been. If it had been properly maintained (I bought it used), the bill to have an alignment and tire rotation along with brake pads probably would have been less than $200.
The late Richard Baxter rights "Take heed to yourselves" in his book to pastors about being certain to care for yourselves in regard to your walk with Christ. His admonition to pastors stands true for everyone: "Take heed to yourselves". His admonition is of paramount importance, see to it that you "maintain" a close, abiding walk of faith and obedience with your Lord Jesus Christ. God commanded Joshua, "Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to obey everything written in it. then you will be prosperous and successful." (1:7) And the writter of Hebrews warns "We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away." (2:1)
This blog could easily turn into a sermon, however, for your sake let it remain an encouragment to you to not neglect the feeding of your soul. Take care to be in communion with your Savior, read his word, pray, worship Him daily.
