Once a month my church holds a men’s Bible study named after the verse in 1 Timothy 6:11. To tie it into the verse, the study begins at 6:11 in the morning. I confess I struggle when the alarm rings a little after 5 am to get up and get ready to go. I figure I’m going to be tired and groggy all day.
In reality, the opposite happens. After an hour of fellowship and probing into God’s word, I find myself feeling refreshed and actually more energetic throughout the day. I come out of there in a good mood with renewed commitment.
It reminds me there is awesome power in God’s word and among His people. If you are feeling stressed, lonely, angry, unappreciated, or just plain worn out, find a gathering of believers and get involved. It will make a significant difference in your life.
