My word for June 13th is DISCONNECTED
Yesterday the weather blew up a windy rainstorm. The wind was outrageous. My lawn chairs were blown all over the
yard and the trampoline flew into our house. Of course we stood by the windows watching everything fly
around. That wasn’t very
smart. About 10 minutes into the
storm there was a loud crackle of thunder and out went the lights. We sat an hour in darkness, no TV, no
computer, the only thing you could hear besides the rain were our voices. Finally the lights came back on, back
to the world again. Even though
the electricity had been restored our cable and Internet had not. In the technology savvy world of
today many can’t live without computers or televisions. You seem disconnected from the world. I myself had a difficult time with no Internet
connection. I put myself on a
deadline for my posts and if I am late it bothers me, however I can say that
today it is soothing to only hear the wind chimes outside my window.
It is very aggravating when we lose power, when we are disconnected,
when we are unplugged from the world.
One thing we can be certain is this, God in never unplugged. He never loses power and He is never
disconnected from us. We are always connected to him. Through weather storms or life storms
He is never absent. We may feel
that He has flipped the switch and turned off our connection, but it is during
these times that we are learning a lesson. God may decide that He needs to blow a fuse to get us to
regain His power again. If the
power of God goes out it isn’t Him that has disconnected from us, we have made
the choice to disconnect from Him.
Do yourself a favor and stay connected to God. Keep plugged in to His outlet, replace
your fuse if it blows. The power
of God will always stay plugged in lighting the way for us to follow. We don’t have to worry about Him ever
disconnecting from us.
Dear Lord we know that at times we are disconnected from You,
but we want to thank you for always staying plugged in. We need you in good times and during
our storms of life. Assist us in
replacing our fuse if we blow it.
Thank you for restoring us with your love, mercy, and grace. During 2012 we will keep our connection
with You alive.
1 Peter 5:7
New
International Version (NIV)
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
