We go through many ups and downs in life. We have times where we feel great and everything is going wonderful in our lives. However, we have those moments where we feel the complete opposite of great and wonderful.

Today, most of us have a cell phone and/or electronic device and we have learned how to do an amazing thing called “charging up our phone or device.” It is remarkable how we will charge our phones and electronic devices so we can continue to use them without interruption.

What do we do (if anything) to charge up our batteries when we get worn out and run down? We need to make sure we give ourselves and our bodies just as much attention as we do our phones and devices. We have to find ways to recharge our batteries. I am sure we all have many different ways to do this. Some may simply do nothing, read a book, go to the beach, go shopping, exercise, etc. The list could go on forever. With all the things that we do differently to recharge our batteries and regain our strength and focus, I must point out one common thing that can recharge all of our batteries. We must look at spending time in God’s presence.

PSALM 16:11 “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”

NLT

God can charge you up, no matter what has drained you – and He is the only one who can do that. Be sure to spend time with God. We can do that by going to church, praying (just talking to God), reading the Bible, and by singing worship songs and hymns. There is also one other thing that I have found that helps me recharge – helping other people in a time of need, which not only brings great joy to your life, but brings you a new energy that you did not have before. We can create an environment for ourselves to recharge anywhere and anytime we need. So remember to keep your batteries charged so you can keep going.
