Fueled By Faith

God Is Always Faithful!

In this testimony, God reminds us that He is love and when we use our faith to approach the Throne of Grace, He will hear and answer our prayers. After reading this story, it came to mind, that God sent an angel in human form to assist this faithful woman of God. As we live from day to day, let us live with faith. It is not a secret what God can do, and what He has done for others, He will certainly do for us. Peace and Blessings!

Fueled by Faith
By Frida de Bruyn

My husband, two children, and I attended a prayer conference in Canberra, New South Wales, Australia, this past month. We cherished the fellowship with hundreds of people, the music, the inspiring speakers, and the powerful prayers shared with like-minded souls. But all too soon, it was time to head home.

As I was driving my small car, I noticed the fuel was running low. However, it was still the Sabbath. I turned to my family and said, “Let’s pray that God will stretch our petrol until we reach the town halfway home. By then, the Sabbath will be over, and we can refuel.” We prayed together and continued driving, praising God as the kilometers passed.

As the sun set, signaling the end of the Sabbath, we arrived at the next petrol station—just in time, as the fuel light came on. But when we pulled up, we discovered the station had already closed at 6pm. It was well after 8pm when we arrived. Not knowing what to do, we prayed again, and then I decided to go into a nearby pub to see if anyone there might have spare fuel they’d be willing to sell.

The bartender refused, explaining that I’d have to go to the nearest town, nearly 30 kilometers away. But with my tank empty, I knew I would not make it the hour and a half on lonely roads to get home. As I turned to leave, a customer stopped me.

“Excuse me, what’s the trouble? Can I help?” he asked. I explained my situation. “I think I have a few liters,” he said. “It won’t be much, but it should get you to the next town.” He followed me outside and got a can from his utility vehicle.

“There’s only a few liters, but you can have it all!” he said, emptying every drop into my tank. We thanked him, gave him some money, then got back in the car, ready to head to the next town where we could refuel properly.

I started the car and checked the fuel gauge. Stunned, I stopped and stared. The tank was full. We had only added a few liters to a completely empty 40-liter tank, yet it was completely full!

Overwhelmed with joy, we praised God for His incredible miracle as we continued our journey home from the prayer conference. Frida de Bruyn

Yes and Amen. Lord God, we thank you for being a God of love. Help us to realize that steadfast faith is necessary to please You, and honors and reveres your Sovereignty and Majesty. Although we have been faithless, you are always Faithful. We thank you for taking care of us in our times of need. In Jesus’ Holy Name, we pray, Amen.
