Short-Circuits of Faith

A modern car is a marvel of engineering and extraordinary complexity, such that the average car-owner is unable to work on their own car, except for the most rudimentary maintenance. The average car has literally miles of electrical cable and wiring, and a break or shorting of the smallest wire can drain the battery. The result is certain: the car will not start! It can go nowhere. Totally disabled and unable to move! Recent experience with such a confounding "short"---which ate up three batteries over 18 months---suggested to me the advisability of a "check-up" of our wiring of faith. God, as our Master Mechanic, is able to run diagnostic tests of our wiring to see if there be any frayed, failing, or weak wires in our faith. Faults such a complaining, or self-will, or outright stubborn rebellion will surely short-circuit our faith and stall our progress. If we are willing...God will reveal the condition of our internal circuits. We don't want to be unable "to start" in the middle of the night, particularly if it is the most important of journeys!
