I had some problems with the car this week. Right in front of a friend's house, the car 'cried out' and refused to be pacified until the battery was disconnected! In a way I am thankful that this did not take place in some unknown place or right in the middle of traffic! The cause of the problem was the alternator. It was not doing its work to charge up the batteries. There was just not enough power for the car to function fully as it should. Also I had not noticed the symptoms over the last few days. I thought with a new set of battery I would not have any problems. But I was wrong!
Isn't this true sometimes in our life when we ignore the signs that show our lack? We live our lives as if we are on our own. The truth is that we are designed not to operate on our own. We need fellowship with God more than we realise. To live our lives independent of Him would be like the car that only operates on its own batteries. Be careful and watch out for the symptoms of living such a life. The 'I' problem can be fatal. It is no wonder then that we are commanded by Scripture to be filled with the Spirit of God. Not just once but be continually filled. Only He can give us life.
Pr. Ben
