Check Engine Light
As I turned from the parking lot, heading for home, I noticed a yellow light on my dashboard(仪表板)had come on. The symbol indicated that I was to 41 the engine. I noted the water temperature and the oil light quickly to see 42 there were problems that would 43 an overheated engine. Noticing these two gauges (仪表) were okay, I 44 I could ignore the little yellow light that caused such great 45 for at least the moment.
After I reread my owner manual(用户手册), I 46 the check engine light comes on to indicate that there is a problem and that 47 is required. Malfunctions（故障）will often be indicated by the 48 before any problem appears, which may 49 more serious damage to the vehicle. This system is 50 to assist you and your technician in 51 diagnosing any malfunction.
Reading the manual made me think of how we need 52 in our lives to be our “check engine light”. We need to know when a(n) 53 occurs and when service is required in our lives. We need to correct our problems before serious damage surfaces. We need a light to 54 in our minds to help us avoid conflict, pain or disaster. We need a(n) 55 to come on to tell us not to give in to temptation. We need to be 56 that we shouldn’t ignore good and work to make life better for all of us.
God makes a magnificent “check engine light”. He gives you an awareness to keep your pathway 57 . He shows you the beauty of the earth to 58 you to him. He brings people who care about you to help 59 your living. He has provided his word to point the 60 . No one can deny there are many helpful people like “God” around you to lead your pathway from the problems that could damage your living.
