I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church. Colossians 1:24 

Question…..have you ever run out of gas? I have and it’s a helpless and embarrassing situation…especially if you are far from home. What goes from bad to good, is when someone stops and helps provide transportation to a gas station to get gas and fill up your tank to get you on your way once again. You are thankful for that passerby who came to your aide!

As Christians, we oftentimes run out of gas in our journey through life. Circumstances happen, people hurt us, mounting debt…..the situations can be different, but the outcome is the same…GOD comes to our rescue! There is NOTHING sweeter in life than when He comes to our aid and fills our spiritual fuel tank. I can’t tell you the number of times He has filled my tank and got me back on the road, even in the most dire of situations.

Maybe today you are out of gas spiritually. You’ve been running on fumes and finally come to a halt. Find reason to rejoice in your emptiness, because HE will fill you with something greater than you could ever find yourself….His love, His presence, His healing hand. Thank Him in all things, even in times of suffering, because when the tank is empty, He fills it with something better! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
