Ride On

The dreaded nail.

No one wants to be out on the road, and find out something has punctured their tire. Unfortunately, it’s usually a pretty big hit to the wallet when you’re traveling, because you’re at the mercy of what shop can get you in and back on the road.

Something that I’ve started carrying in my bike, is a bottle of Ride On tire sealant. This product both seals and balances the tires. The manufacturer states that Ride On will seal a hole in a tubeless tire up to 1/4 in, and 1/8 in in a tubed tire. So far, I’ve never had to use it, but it’s there when I need it.

Just as a tire puncture can sideline us in our travels as we ride, there are things in our spiritual walk that can sideline us as well. Small, sometimes unnoticed things that we pick up along the way, that before long, cause a break down.

Things such as past hurts, past failures, trauma, and pain can cause small punctures in our life, that leaves us feeling like the only option is to pull over and give up. However, those things are not the defining moment that will end your journey! Within the pages of God’s Holy Word, we can find that encouragement that will begin to seal up the punctures of life.

Psalm 31:24  Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart

Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end

Proverbs  3:5  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding

Lamentations 3:22-24  It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul. Therefore, will I hope in Him.

Psalm 147:3  He health the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds

No matter the pain that comes, no matter the struggle that you go through, no matter how impossible the road may appear, trust in the Lord, read His word, spend time with Him in prayer, and

RIDE ON!
