My cell phone is not staying charged. I keep it hooked to a
charger most of the time and yet it just never wants to hold full charge. Danny
says I use it too much. But with those smart phones there’s so much you can
do. Check facebook, pin to pinterest, text
friends, post photos on instagram, check
emails and even talk on it! The grandkids also like to use it to play games. So
the battery gets depleted quickly.
Since I can’t seem to keep my battery charged, Danny has
bought me a new charger with 2 extra batteries. He figures I at least ought to
be able to use the charge of the extra battery to help me get through the day.
Our walk with the Lord is better than a smart phone! There
are wonderful things available to us when the Lord changes our life. The Word tells us we can overcome obstacles,
reach out to others, walk in forgiveness, mercy and grace. It also says we can fight the enemy, live for
God and be a victorious warrior in Christ. Best of all, we can talk to the Lord
24/7. Anytime. Anywhere.
Because we have much available to us in Christ, we have much
responsibility to stay connected and full charged. Without a daily connection
to the Spirit we lose our power. Without being full charged in the Lord, we
will start running on the flesh. When we run in the flesh we get tired,
fatigued, cranky, despondant. We lose our motivation and become self-centered.
Before long all power seems gone. We wonder what happened. We try to “use” our
blessings and find that we’ve hit a “dead zone”. Without the reconnection to
God’s power supply we’re useless and frustrated.
Unlike cell phones, which require a physical battery to stay
going, we just have to step back into God’s presence and recharge. We just have to get alone with Him and let
Him adjust our spiritual batteries so that He is fully in charge and we are
fully recharging in Him.
Oh beloved, do you
feel like you’ve been running on empty? Have you been trying to use the gifts
God gave you but they’re not working properly? God knows how busy you are and
that everything you do is important. But He’s planned it so that you must spend
time with Him and He wants to spend time with you. It‘s His joy and pleasure to
recharge you, renew you and give you a fresh boost of faith, joy and
peace. Even if you have to stop and plug
in from your busy day, it will be worth it. For the life of faith is impossible
without His connection. But a life fully connected to Him, charged to the max –
will give you all that you are running around trying to find, trying to do and
trying to be.
Stop this morning and let God recharge you beloved. It is
the best time you will ever spend in your busy day. It sheds light on your
walk, lightens your load and gives you the power to live in the light of His
Word! He loves you and He’s for you and that’s why you will always be blessed
when He recharges your life.
