Our brains are full of information, we glean and retain information each day as we learn and then we log that information on our "sim card". Like cell phones, we also need to be, charged... physically, mentally and spiritually. We rest our bodies when we sleep, we rest our minds when we sleep and when we take some time to walk away from the worries of our lives. We recharge spiritually when we go to church, read our Bibles and pray.
So if we are living smart phones, the charger would naturally be Christ. In order for us to recharge spiritually, we need to plug in at a church, we need to plug in and read our Bible and we need to plug in to God's will.
When we are connected, we find ourselves renewed, refreshed and revitalized.
The other night when I woke up, I noticed my phones screen was dark... and my phone usually remains lit when it's attached to the charger. Long story short, it wasn't charging due to a bad cord. I found another usb cord and attached it to my phone... and presto, it started charging.
This got me thinking... unconfessed sin, living life our way, doing things we ought not do... all these things can cause a faulty connection. For example, when you have a faulty connector on a cell phone charger, you get spotty, if any charge at all... which can be frustrating.
When we confess our sins and live according to God's will, we find that our connection is strong and we are being recharged and revitalized.
We are told to Pray without ceasing I Thessalonians 5:17; what better way to connect with God, than direct communication. When we read our Bible, we connect and recharge.... Psalm 105:109 reads: Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path; If we are in the word, we are allowing God to speak through His word to us. And finally we are revitalized when we fellowship with others: For where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them. Matthew 18:20. Fellowship with others, challenges us, encourages us and keeps us accountable to the life that we live.
When we are plugged in, we find our hearts, minds and spirits renewed in the promises of His word. We are revitalized to serve and refreshed by the power of His love.
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!“ Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
