I had an old 1990 Ford van that had a “Check Engine” light that
came on. My mechanic said it was the PCV
valve and could run just fine without the $100 part. But the little “Check Engine” light bothered
my wife. So, I put a tiny piece of black
vinyl tape over the “Check Engine” light and both of us were happy. But then I began to think, what if something
else goes wrong with my engine and the light is covered up with tape? So, I paid the mechanic the $100 and pulled
the tape off of the dashboard. You know,
those little warning lights are there for a reason. And I had better pay attention when the
“Check Engine” light comes on. Hey,
that’s the way it is with your life. The
blessed Holy Spirit is your spiritual “Check Engine” light. The Holy Spirit and your conscience let you
know when something is wrong. You can
ignore them if you want to, but at your peril.
Jesus said in John 14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” God will not let you ignore truth. God will remind you what you should be
doing. The Holy Spirit, your “Check
Engine” light, will keep you on the right path … that is IF you listen.
