The van needed gas. Again.
My van will not run if I don’t put in more gasoline* when the tank is empty. It is obvious that to drive a vehicle you need fuel. I don’t want to try to see if the car will run forever without refueling.
The little yellow light comes on in the dashboard to remind me my tank is almost empty. I need to refuel.
My stomach growls to remind me to eat.
My crabby attitude reminds me my tank is empty.
I don’t remember to refuel every morning.
I forget to pray.
In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
Psalm 5:3
David didn’t say, talk to God once a week, or whenever I feel like it, or just when I am trouble.
Sunday morning I get to hear a good lesson about Jesus. Pastor Steve DeFrain at Morning Star in Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania challenges us to love God and serve. You can go to church on Sunday morning or Saturday night in whatever time zone you live in.
The men and women who stand on stage will direct you towards Jesus. They will offer to pray for you, tell you how to get forgiven. They may even have an altar call.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
1John 1:9
But. It is up to you to fill your gas tank on all the other days. Pray. Read.
You may hear Christian’s say, “Spend time in the word.” Translation: “Read your Bible.”
My tank is empty.
It is time to fill it. This morning I will pray and read my Bible.
How about you? Is your tank empty?
