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，我发现车子的油箱几乎空了。找到一家有加油站的便利商店后，我便把车停在一个油泵旁。我把油泵喷嘴放进油箱，刷卡，开始加油。然后我走进商店买了一瓶苏打水。我和店员聊天一会儿，回到车子旁，开始清洗挡风玻璃。当我再次上路时，我看了看油表，它竟然显示油箱还是空的！回想我的注意力转移，很有可能我忘记压下控制油泵喷嘴的扳手。
除了这极需要做的一件事之外，我做了所有事情。你也做过同样的事吗？你曾否忽视了圣灵的同在？神的灵渴望将祂的大能赐给你。挑战总是伴随着生活而来，但它们不能限制你的生命。神的帮助就在这里。
