MEM Custer, Ok

Staying in the Word is essential! To share Christ, we first have to be poured into. We cannot shake out our cup, it has to pour out, to pour out we have to be poured into. If all we focus on is the people we are sharing with but dont have our own quiet time and rest and refreshment in the Word and God, then the work that we are doing will never be as big as it could be if we daily abide in Christ ourselves. We would be hypocrites to tell others to stay in the Word and be discipled if we ourselves did not continue and be discipled in the Word. While we are here there is so much going on, we're all tired and very busy, and its easy for us to say i'm going to sleep or i dont have time to get into the Word myself right now. Please pray that we can find that balance, being in the Word ourselves this summer is essential.
