Storing Up


Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t have the right board for the occasion? On a trip you can only choose from the quiver you packed.

In life, for the most part, people want good to come out of them. But the way we control what comes out of us is by focusing on what goes into us. In Luke 6:45 Jesus says, “The good man brings good things out of the good STORED UP in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil STORED UP in his heart. For out of the OVERFLOW of his heart his mouth speaks.”

Have you ever had those occasions when you didn’t want to go to church and listen to another message or sit and read your Bible? Sometimes it just feels like it doesn’t matter. But here’s the thing, you are storing up good and at some point it will overflow. The opposite is also true. You ever think, “it doesn’t hurt anyone if I look at this in privacy” or “it doesn’t matter if I listen to gossip, I mean, I’m not the one saying it”? You’re storing up and at some point it’s gonna overflow. That’s why it’s important to take in good and reject evil because you are “STORING UP”.

The key to having the right board on a trip is packing the right board at home. The key to having good come out of you is to have good stored up in you.

Who do you surf for?
