DON’T TAKE A VACATION!

Welcome to Summer— But DON’T TAKE A VACATION!

Dr. Jay Wolf

I have always loved summer. School is closed and the pools are open. Refreshing, ruby-red, ice-cold watermelon! Fishing. Baseball. Family gatherings. Cookouts. Shorts and T-shirts. Excursions to the beach, lake and mountains. Summer is a wonderful time to slow down, relax, and rejuvenate…it is the time for vacations.

However, don’t take a vacation from walking with God and serving His purpose! Don’t take a vacation from personal and corporate worship. Don’t take a vacation from learning and living God’s Word. Don’t take a vacation from interceding for our broken world. Don’t take a vacation from sharing the Gospel. Don’t take a vacation from faithful stewardship and service. After all, these spiritual basics are not a burden but a blessing that creates perennial refreshment.

May God recalibrate you this summer as you take some time out while staying spiritually tuned in. And most importantly, always remember that God never takes a vacation from you. “God is FAITHFUL, through whom you are called into fellowship with His Son, Christ Jesus, our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9)
