I found a little extra mercy the other day. I had to make a trip to Pueblo and on the trip home I was in a hurry so I thought I would save time and wait till Trinidad if possible to fill up the gas tank. As I approached Walsenberg (30 miles from Trinidad) the gauge was on 1/4 which I figured was about 4 gallons. Since my Toyota 4runner gets 18mpg that would be 70 or more miles, so no problem right? Well as I passed the last exit of the afore mentioned Walsenberg I watched the needle begin to visibly drop.
For those not familiar with that stretch of I-25 there are no gas stations till the town of Aguilar, 20 miles down the road. My gas gauge has a red light that flashes when you approach empty. It was lit solid when I could see the Aguilar exit (still 3 miles away).
Now remember that at this time my condition leaves me exhausted walking in and out of Wal-Mart. I envisioned the engine coughing and dieing a half mile short, how long would that walk take? I of course did NOT have a spare gas can in the car with me. Well the short story is it continued to run all the way up to the pump. THANK YOU JESUS!
There are times when God has pity on us fools. We do when we shouldn't or don't when we should have. Kind of like "...the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be uttered..."Rom.8:26. It is also written "HE knows our frame, HE remembers we are but dust". Ps.103:14.
God has no reason to do more for us but He does. Having given His only Son, given us this world to live in, air to breath...His abiding presence. Eternal hope is ours for the asking. What more do we NEED?
