When My Mechanical Pencil Ran Out of Lead

I can remember when I was in school and purchased a new mechanical pencil. One day I found myself in the middle of an important test, and my pencil ran out of lead! I was very frustrated and in anguish as I wasted precious minutes going around to other students trying to borrow another pencil. Later I found out that this new pencil was designed with a complete supply of extra lead inside that could be dispensed with a mere press of the button. Many Christians are often like I was that day: although they have all of God’s sufficiency available to them, because of lack of knowledge they do not draw on it in their time of need. (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
