The turmoil caused by the recent hurricane Ike has brought about gas price hikes and stations around here running out. I live about 7 miles from the church I pastor, and noticed 3 stations out this past Sunday. Those three stations were actually within a couple of miles of where I live, and were three of those who had the highest price of gasoline. Ingle's Market tanks are still empty as I write this blog, having run out a day after the initial impact.
The empty tanks bring concern, and in some cases, panic. Trips have been canceled, plans affected, and driving habits changed as a result of the high price and temporary shortage of gas.
Like our need for gasoline, we need some spiritual gas in our tanks. I am afraid many of us have run low or are out. We need the anointing of God in our lives, our homes, our churches. Without the direction of the Holy Spirit, we are in a mess. May we realize our spiritual need, and "tank up." Unlike the petroleum issues we currently face, God's gas is plentiful, and free of charge. I remember the time we called what now is mostly convenience stores, "filling stations". Thank God, there are filling stations scattered throughout the region. So come on by the church, and get filled up today!
