So this entry won't be exactly a full sermon - it's more of a sidenote based on something that Pastor Robert Johnson said in his sermon this past Sunday.
Paraphrasing - he said that we want a tester size of God - just enough God that we can manage, but that a God that size cannot handle the monumental problems we sometime face.
That made me think about how we sometimes go to the gas station and either can't afford to or are just too cheap to fill up the tank. We buy (laughing at myself - I buy) $15 worth of gas for the Lincoln Navigator knowing it will take at least four times that much to fill the tank. Who are we trying to fool? Not only is that not enough gas to last any substantial amount of time, but we KNOW we'll be right back at the gas station later on the same week.
So we treat God this way. Showing up on Sundays and putting our little $15 in the tank - thinking that for some reason that $15 is going to stretch until next Sunday. Let's not blame God when we run out of gas on the side of the road . . . when it's Tuesday afternoon and we're all out of gas.
Fill your whole tank. Worship daily. Pray daily. Praise daily.
That's it for now. . . TJae
