Like a jet plane, tank or jeep, once the fuel gauge warning comes on, blinks on and off or starts beeping, this is your signal that its time to refuel. If you ignore this sign, you might crash and burn, get stuck in a desert or have to take the long walk of shame to the nearest gas station. From a spiritual perspective, there is another fueling station which you can access by faith through God’s grace. Ephesians 2:8.
The first feature of this refueling station is worship. According to the Psalms, God created us to worship Him, Psalm 150:6 When you enter into God’s courts with thanksgiving in your heart, a spiritual influx of energy enters your body, Psalm 100:4. This portion of the station takes you to a new level, as your spiritual gauge rises toward full.
The internal portion of this refueling station is like a convenience store full of spiritual products. The first item on the shelf is peace, surrounded by quietness, seclusion and rest. In the drink section, there is living water, the Logos, quenching the thirst of all who drink. Finally, surrounding the station is fasting and prayer, the spiritual powerade to refuel your body daily. However, without a balanced diet of each byproduct, your engine will sputter. Therefore, don’t just wait until Sunday to refuel, come to the river of life daily, Revelation 22:1.
