How true.God will never leave us empty.
Maybe you have felt as if you’ re running on fumes. But you have to keep going. There has bound to be a filling station just up the road. You watch for the signs. The gauge teeters on the E. Your eye shifts to the tachometer to see how many miles you have gone. Your brain calculates how many more you possibly could go before the engine dies. You hiss a prayer and tap the steering wheel. Come on, come on. I need you now. Where are you, gas station?
If only you had taken the time to stop and fill up before you headed out. But you were running late. It started to rain. You didn’t want to get fume smells on your hands. You were too rushed to notice the gauge. Whatever the excuse, the fact remains… you didn’t.
Please, God, please. find me a gas station. I need to refuel. You begin to promise you won’t do this again, but you know you will. Then you see it. The sign. And guess what? It advertises the cost to be twenty cents cheaper a gallon. Ha!
God’s Word fills us. We need it daily. We should never go out without a full tank of His promises, love, mercy and grace in our hearts and minds. But we do. Our lives get hectic. We dash down the road. We keep telling ourselves, I’ll read my Bible when I find the time…soon.
Over the past four years since I began this blog, God has been faithful to find ways to show me He is there, He cares. Even when I am rushed and running on empty- there it is . A sign.
And that sign draws me back to not be satisfied with just a few gallons to get me by until I have time, but to make the time to return in prayer and study to be filled up.
Are you on fumes? Look for His sign to draw near, make a turn off your busy path, and stop for a while to refuel.
Great! God bless you

So true. We have stay plugged in to God’s word and not check in occasionally to fill up.
