The First Click

Therefore submit to God James4

For those that know me well you would know that I don't know a lot about cars. So when I ran across this article I thought it important enough to share:

It is not a good idea to fuel pack the gas tank by continuing to fuel pack the gas tank past the first click of the pump. Overfilling the gas tank defeats the purpose of the evaporating emissions control system. If you keep filling after the automatic shutoff you will force fuel into the vapor separator and charcoal separator. When you start your engine the liquid fuel is drawn into the intake manifold leading to an overly rich fuel -air mixture and a partially flooded condition at start up. Paul Brand,Autos, Questions and answers.

And, so it is a sign, a message that we should listen for the first click of the gas pump.

We should also listen to our heavenly father when he is trying to send us a message. Avoid the message to stop and we will pay the price. We will suffer the consequences of Hid discipline.

Sometimes it is easy to feel like we are a slave to the scriptures unless we realize what lies behind them is a great, glorious loving Father that only wants the best for us. It only took one breathe to change a Saul to a Paul.

What ever change God is asking of you surrender all to the cross. Put the old self behind and surrender to the new you he wants you to be. Take the very scarred hand of Jesus and walk with Him. But don't walk before Him or you may get lost. Walk behind Him and revel in His shadow and bask in His Son.

Although we are once saved we must always be surrendered. Surrender takes one decision every second of the day. It is our spiritual stubbornness that often becomes the road block to the very blessings we cry out for. So, if God is showing you something, don't resist, persist.

Whoa to them that do not listen
when God reveals the sin.
It is as if they do not realize
they are putting their life on a limb.

Self pity, bitterness, and jealousy
are ugly internal conditions.
And we will never be changed
to be used by the savior
unless we agree to submission.
