The greatly feared check engine light turned on as I was driving to work. At the same time the speedometer began do dance around indicating speeds from zero to 100 mph during my trip. I have learned over the years not to panic when this happens but you want to find out why it happened and take corrective action. In my case it turns out that the wire harness had warn through creating an electrical short that was blowing several fuses effecting the smooth operation of the automobile. The point here is that the light didn’t cause the trouble/problem but the problem created the display to light up.
After thinking about this for a moment, I began to realize that is how life is as well. Our actions reflect what is inside us. It seems that the check engine light shines brightest when we suffer. This is when we are most apt to take our need to the Father. These are the times when the engine of our life is running at it's best. When God is most glorified and exalted. "He must increase, but I must decrease.” John3:20 esv
