StillLookingatGOD?
BySis.RickiFullerWould you say that refueling seems like a relatively easy feat? You drive up to the gas, EV, or Hydrogen pump you choose, input your credentials, pump your chosen fuel into the vehicle, and drive off in your refueled vehicle (until the next time). Pure and simple, correct? Sure.
On a spiritual level, after being reminded about GOD’s Amazing Love for us, I was refueled and continued looking by reading and examining the Scriptures from last week’s article:

“The LORD lives! I praise my Rock, the God who saves me. How great He is!” (Psalm 18:46 ERV). “Therefore, He is able also to save forever (completely, perfectly, for eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede and intervene on their behalf [with God]” (Hebrews 7:25 AMP). “He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and be placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]” (II Corinthians 5:21 AMP).
Hence, because of GOD Who is pleased to refuel us constantly, I can also see each of us as living wonders based on a short article I read while still Looking:
“I am a living wonder, Jesus. I’m amazed to see the changes in me! I’m strong, I’m filled with hope! The notion of weakness and futility doesn’t exist in Your Kingdom, and You’ve given me the spiritual strength to combat every wily, discouraging scheme that could tear down my faith. I’m rising up as a new person inside and out! Depression is no longer my companion because I’m letting go of a wounded heart and a litany of “don’t have.” Instead of disparaging the thorns on roses, I’m grateful for the roses on the thorns! The substance of everything I hope for is positioned deep within my faith, and I’m discovering my life has meaning and purpose beyond that of which I’ve been aware. You’ve created this new person out of me, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Thank You!”
(“Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burden day by day, The God Who Is our salvation! Selah. Psalm 68:19 AMP”)
Thank You, Lord, for showing us Your Love and Your dedication to us in myriad ways. Thank You for consistently making Yourself available to us so we may be empowered to live as You purpose per Ecclesiastes 12:13, Jeremiah 29:11-13, and Ephesians 1:414 (AMP). Because You have made us right (righteous) through Christ’s sacrifice, we are able to look closely at You by the agency of The Holy Spirit! Therefore, we are refueled when empty; replenished when our needed supply runs low; restocked with Your goodness when our emotions and attitudes become unpleasant, and we tell You about it per I Peter5:6-7; and, You, Lord, refill us as You so deem! Hallelujah!
