Running Out of Gas
My Testimony for Saturday morning. I was headed out the
door late for work Friday Morning and when I started down
the road my car started coughing and sputtering, and of
course feeling illish I really didn't feel up to dealing
with my car in the icy cold weather...you know the kind
where you see your own breath. Well, it was fizzling out on
me and I happen to remember that I didn't put gas in the car
and I was running out of gas. I live a ways away from the
gas station. Well, I drove my spitting and sputtering card
down the road ...with it cutting out...and managed to pull
in to the gas station ....I got up to the pump and the car
quit entirely. I was completely out of gas. I filled my
little tiny tank and turned the key a few times because I
had to prime it a little and get gas back up through the
lines and varooooom I was up and going and off to work I
went....in my nice warm cozy car that never coughed,
sputtered, done any cutting out after the fill up. God is so
good...I reflected on that a lot today...just about the time
I am running out....God comes along and fills me up even if
it is from my own negligence for not getting fueled like I
need to!
Good Morning. Melanie
P. S. Isn't this the same with our Spiritual life? We
sputter and cough and have a hard time to go on, starting to
doubt about our destiny. If we just let ourselves be filled
with God's Holy Spirit and feed from His Word, the going
would be going smoothly again.
