God's Dashboard: The Temperature Gauge

God's Dashboard: The Temperature Gauge by ric gustafson


There is an icon on the dashboard for the car's cooling system. There is an H at the top for hot and a C at the bottom for cool and a line in the middle for just right. Consistency is the key to our car's temperature and cooling system. The water has to be cool enough to keep the engine from overheating but hot enough to keep us warm in winter. The water in our car needs to be at around 190 degrees, not too hot or cold but just right.
Malachi 3:6 says ' For I am the Lord, I do not change'. God never changes, he is always consistent in what he says and does. As believers of God, he wants us to be consistent in our spiritual lives also. In bible study he wants us to be consistent. In prayer and worship, he wants us to be consistent. In Proverbs 2:4, Solomon says that working toward growth is like looking for hidden treasures. As we follow God and Jesus, we need to monitor and make sure that we do not burn up or freeze. We need to check our spiritual temperature gauge often and run our race with consistency.
