I have done this many, many time and I have never had this happen. I went to my normal place to put gas in my vehicle and got everything started and things were normal until the tank was full. I took the hose out of my car only to be sprayed with lots of gas. My car also got a bath. Oh my it was horrible.
I drove home as fast as I could and parked in my garage and since no one was home I started stripping as soon as the garage door was closed. I then ran to the shower. I then had to throw away the shoes and wash my clothes and open the garage door so that the car would air out. That gas splashing all over me certainly got my attention. From now on I will be more careful when taking the hose out of my gas tank.
The gas splashing everywhere made me think of how sometimes I just go through the motions and do not pay attention and don't realize that sin is splashing all over and all around me. Before I realize it I am stinking with the smell of sin. I need to shower myself in the word, in prayer and with the love of my Savior! I want to smell like Christ!
Do you need a shower?
John 14:6-7 (NIV)
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[a] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
