Last week I was driving and running errands the sensor light on my car activated advising me that my front passenger tire was low on air. Coincidentally, I needed my oil changed, so asked that service vendor if the tire looked okay. It seemed like he was just in a hurry to get to the next car and told me that was probably was just low on air because of the changes in outside temperature. The service man simply added air to the tire.

Over the following week, my tire slowly lost air and once again, the sensor noted the tire needed attention.

This time I went to a tire store and they found a screw that was imbedded in the tire and repaired it. It is fine now.

This reminded me that I need to make sure my "spiritual" sensors need to be working correctly. If someone feels uneasy about something in his or her spiritual life, then that development should not go unaddressed. Talk to Father and ask his advice. Do not leave it to your "feeling" that this will just pass. Chances are a word of guidance can keep a small issue from becoming worse.

We need to go to the correct sources to answer issues that develop in our spiritual lives. If we ask someone who may not have the time or skill set to understand what we may be going through, then the issue can fester and become worse.

If we would make sure that our car is working correctly, how much more should we do that for our soul?

The noun, rumination, means a deep considered thought about something.
