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 the van 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 so Kathy and I were both happy. But then I began to think, what if something
else goes wrong with my engine, and the light is covered up with tape? I paid the mechanic the $100, replaced the
PCV valve, 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 ignore
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 loves
you too much to 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.
