You Changed Yet?

It has finally happened…the price of gasoline has caused the Quick household to change its routine. Specifically, Jill has commandeered my vehicle for her use because it gets better mileage than hers does. I knew it was just a matter of time before we changed and it makes sense as she drives much more than I do on an average day. It also caused me to realize gasoline is kind of like God…stay with me, I have a point. We need gasoline; in fact we cannot function without it. So there comes a time when gasoline comes at such high a price that we rethink our lifestyle in order to make use of it. We need God too, actually much, much worse than gasoline, although not everyone realizes that. And once we taste God we want more and more. We will eventually come to the point that we are willing to rethink our lifestyle in order to please God. My question for you is have you made that lifestyle change? Do you need God so much that you are willing to let go of lesser things that are of no real value? Patsy Clairmont said in one of her books (sorry, I do not recall which one), “What difference does it make to believe, if what you believe doesn’t make a difference?” Has God made a difference in your life? Have you changed yet?
