Some time ago I realized my car’s gas tank was nearly empty. I spotted a convenience store and parked next to a pump. I placed the nozzle in my tank, and swiped my card, and began filling up my car. I then went into the store and bought a soda. I chatted with the store clerk. I went back to my car and washed the windshield. I was barely back on the road when I happened to look at my gas gauge. It was on empty! Knowing my attention span, I probably forgot to squeeze the lever.
I did everything except the one thing I needed to do. Have you done the same? Have you neglected the Holy Spirit? The Spirit of God longs to give you his great power. Challenges come with life, but they need not define your life. Help is here.
不久前，我發現車子的油箱幾乎空了。找到一家有加油站的便利商店後，我便把車停在一個油泵旁。我把油泵噴嘴放進油箱，刷卡，開始加油。然後我走進商店買了一瓶蘇打水。我和店員聊天一會兒，回到車子旁，開始清洗擋風玻璃。當我再次上路時，我看了看油表，它竟然顯示油箱還是空的！回想我的注意力轉移，很有可能我忘記壓下控制油泵噴嘴的扳手。
除了這極需要做的一件事之外，我做了所有事情。你也做過同樣的事嗎？你曾否忽視了聖靈的同在？神的靈渴望將祂的大能賜給你。挑戰總是伴隨著生活而來，但它們不能限制你的生命。神的幫助就在這裡。
