AAA---a “Triple A” Truth


5 /4/12 Mulling over Monday’s (4/30) Jesus Calling entry for several days, I have become increasingly aware of my inadequacy and God’s adequacy. I think that might be right where God wants me.

Almighty’s Adequacy Awareness---all about my awareness of Almighty God’s adequacy in my life. 

AAA Help for on and off the Road
Sometimes life’s bumps in the road feel more like an emergency, a crisis that needs immediate attention. Triple A (AAA ®) motor club advertises such assistance (listed below) for those of us on our nation’s highways. What about our spiritual highways and byways? Who gives us assistance when we break down?
  • 5 miles of free towing---God alone pulls believers out of the pit and is willing to go the distance, not just a few miles. “In my distress I called to the Lord, I cried to my God for help…He heard my voice;…He reached down…He rescued me… the Lord was my support” (Psalm 18: 6, 16-18)
  • AAA Mobile Battery service comes to you---my battery doesn’t even need to be delivered---the transfer of energy in my life takes place within---(“gift of the Spirit,” Acts 2:38)
  • Trip Continuance up to $1,000---no limit to His provision as I stay on the life road He has for me—He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because he delighted in me”. (Psalm 18:19)
  • Vehicle Locksmith up to $50—again without charge, I am signed and sealed. Signed with His blood and “sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise” (Ephesians 1:13)
  • Fuel Service Delivery - but you pay fuel---with the Lord, I pay nothing---His power is always available, a gift---free of charge and environmentally friendly---“to him who lacks might, He increases power,” (Isaiah 40:29)
  • Car theft reward - $1,000—no one can take me from His hand---“I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day” (II Timothy 1:12)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. (II Corinthians 12:9)
I interpret weakness as inadequacy---my inadequacy. Be Aware reader, life is all about His Almighty Adequacy. That’s a AAA truth for sure!
