Do we have enough milk for breakfast?  Or do I need to stop and get more?  This is one of the most common questions asked in households with kids.  Making sure the supply of milk is replenished before the need arises.  When there isn’t milk for breakfast it creates havoc and unnecessary strain in the morning, so we try and avoid that.  You see not having breakfast isn’t an option.  They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day!  This blog isn't about "breakfast" or the contents of your fridge!  Rather, an encouragement to take inventory of the content of our "spiritual" pantry! Where do we stand?  Are we running low on...? Joy? Peace? Hope?  You see on any given day we expend our energy, our efforts, pouring out all that we have for our work, our family, friends, etc.  So the question for you and me is, do we have enough for breakfast?  Are we so tired, so weary, so pushed, pulled and overcome with the worry of the world that we are emptied out?  Have nothing left?  Then let’s replenish the supply!  Have we run out of hope? Have we depleted our supply of joy?  No more peace-?  No patience?  NO PROBLEM! When we go to the storeroom for our soul, (which is the throne room of our KING)- through Jesus Christ we ask to be filled up, replenished, rejuvenated, restored, and even repurposed!  God is faithful to given us His guidance and send His Holy Spirit to work through us.  Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. How- by the POWER of the Holy Spirit! We go from an empty... “out of stock” pantry  to an overstocked pantry! Thanks for letting me share.  Randy Young
