Have you ever studied the mechanics of a car and the principles that are required to keep them in tune? In every car that we purchase if we open the glove box there is an owners manual that simply outlines everything that we need to know in case something goes wrong with the car. This manual teaches us how to read the warning signs that pop up on the instrument panel to insure the longevity of the car.
It was not many years ago that we did not have all these warning lights that popped up and we had to learn how to listen to the motor to insure that everything was in order. Have you ever noticed someone that kept driving their car without taking the time to address what needed to be fixed? Have you ever experienced neglecting a specific area of your car and then before you knew you were sitting on the side of the road?
When we compare ourselves to a car it is wise to be in tune with the motor. Just as manufactures are doing today God made us so that we have to go back to the Creator if we really want to solve the issues that we have at hand. There are many shade tree mechanics that try to show us a quicker route but when we learn to stop and listen God will show us the Way.
Have you opened the owners manual to life in the Word of God to know the warning signs and to insure that your car can go the extra mile? Or is your car falling apart because you are not taking the time to really address what needs to be done. It is very easy to run ourselves ragged and chase everything in the world but there comes a point time that we should stop and listen to what God is placing in our heart to make sure that our car will always be ready to start.
