There is an old gasoline station right on the Nebraska-Wyoming state line that appears to be more than a little run-down. The number of pumps would indicate that it had a brisk business at one point in time, but that is certainly not the case today. Multiple circumstances may have contributed to a decline in business, but the interstate highway going around the town rather than directing traffic right through the town was probably one of the main factors.
This scene really captured my attention. While I understand that conditions change in business and in life, I could only imagine what the owners of this station must have experienced as they witnessed those changes.
What happens to a vacant property? Numerous possibilities exist, but the end result is usually the same. Weeds grow. Paint chips off the buildings. Rust appears on metal surfaces. The property basically goes into disrepair and the value of the property decreases.
What happens when you do not tend to the spiritual needs of your life? Do you see your prayer life getting rusty? Have the weeds of sin and vice taken over your actions causing you to bear very little good fruit rather than producing 30, 60, or 100 fold the way God desires? If there are signs of neglect in your spiritual journey, what are you going to do to change course?
