I hate backing, don't you?

This is today's single Christian, and I'm Lena

0:08

Abu-Jamal. As much as I love

0:10

to travel, I hate to pack. It takes

0:12

thinking and planning and stressing.

0:14

And somehow I always end up either over

0:17

or under packing. Yet, as painful

0:19

as it is to pack, it would never occur to me to

0:21

travel somewhere without packing a bag with the basics.

0:24

When it comes to our walk with the Lord, our

0:26

journey requires some packing, yet most

0:28

of us completely ignore it. I'm not

0:30

talking about excess baggage here. I'm

0:32

talking about what you need to survive.

0:34

Ephesians six gives us a list your

0:36

jacket of righteousness, your hat of salvation,

0:39

shoes of peace, and a coat of faith. And

0:41

you can't leave home without your sword. God's word.

0:43

If you want to thrive, you're gonna have to plant

0:45

to pack the basics. Now come on, get on the road.

0:48

There's a whole world to see and people to love.
