FOR THE WIN - Week 3

When was the last time your car ran out of gas? Maybe it was last week when you got too busy and forgot to keep an eye on the tank. Or maybe it was when you were a teenager and were too broke to pay for gas. Either way, chances are it was a pain. When our cars give out on the side of the road, it’s never convenient and it always takes more work to fix than it would have to just stop and refuel. And the same is true in other areas of our lives. Our bodies and minds have a fixed amount of energy and while it’s possible to “run on fumes” for a little while, it will eventually leave us broken down on the side of the road. But what can we do? Jobs won’t wait. Children still have needs. Life, despite our best efforts, is still fast paced. Thankfully, the famous King Solomon has some wise words to help us win at life even when we feel like we’re running on empty. And while his advice isn’t easy, it sets us up for a better life and a better life story than we could have ever imagined.
