Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Praise Before the AnswerPhilippians 4:6
No. 131
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.Philippians 4:6

Did you catch it? Thanksgiving comes before the answer. Not after God comes through — before. This is faith in action: praising God for who He is while the situation is still unresolved. Gratitude that isn't dependent on the outcome.

Reflect

Can you thank God today for something He hasn't answered yet? Try it — it changes your posture.

Prayer

Lord, I thank You in advance. Before I see the answer, I praise You for being a God who answers. Amen.
