I once went into a tire repair shop and told the manager that I had a slow leak in one of my tires. He answered, “You’ll have to come back tomorrow. We fix slow leaks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We only work on regular leaks today.”

Of course, he was joking. He and his crew had me fixed up and back on the road in just a few minutes. However, a flat tire is no laughing matter. It can keep you from getting where you need to go and can really mess up your day.

Just as a leaky tire can leave you stranded, sometimes we find ourselves spiritually drained, and unable to move forward. Beware those slow leaks that leave you empty and powerless. Always seek to be re-filled with God’s limitless power!

“…Be filled with the Spirit.”—Ephesians 5:18.
