Years ago, I pastored a church in Connecticut where I would take Monday’s off. It was always great to get away and spend time with my family. Most of the time we simply went to the mall as the kids loved the full-size merry go round there. Let me go back to the story of our car running out of gas. The Lord was so good to us that day. Within a minute of being parked under the overpass, a man in a truck stopped and helped us get to a service station. After thanking him profusely, we filled the car right up to the gas cap! We never again trusted solely in the fuel gauge and our tank has never become empty again.
Remember, constantly guard your spiritual tank and keep it full. You will never regret it! Hebrews 12:1-2 says: “1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” |
