Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk.
Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)
The other day, I took my van in for a routine tire rotation. I had been noticing that while driving, my van would start to shake about 60MPH. When I signed it in at Les Schwab, I mentioned the shaking and they said they would check it out.
So all the kids and I are
sitting in the waiting room, eating bag after bag of free popcorn (One of the
reasons I love Les Schwab!)…life is good.
Until you see the man with the tire.
Then life becomes a little hairy.
He rolls the tire over to
me and tells me that one of my wheel bearings are bad – causing this tire to
wear down significantly on the one side as well as a slit in my actual
tire! Well, I then knew where this
conversation was going. It went very
quickly to the place of ALL four tires needing replaced as well as the wheel
bearing. You see, when you have an AWD
vehicle (which I absolutely LOVE and ADORE!), you can’t just replace one bad
tire. You have to replace all four
tires. To the tune of $1,000.00. Sigh.
At that point, sitting in
the waiting room of a tire shop with seven greasy fingered kids, and no van…you
don’t have many choices. You get the new
tires.
It all worked out. We came out a little poorer but definitely in
a better and more safe vehicle.
The thought from this
story being…one bad wheel bearing – an INTERNAL part – caused a lot of damage
EXTERNALLY. And that damage cost us a
bunch.
What do you have going on internally that is causing damage to you? Bitterness? Anger? Unrepentent sin? Ungratefulness? Lust? Apathy?
There is so much that we can have inside that will eventually cause us damage on our outside. And it will be at a cost that you may not be ready to pay.

So today’s challenge is: Evaluate your
heart. What may be there that is causing
big damage? Take care of it while it is
in the inside before you have to pay for it on the outside.
Will you
take the challenge?
