Today the power seems to be out in a lot of our city. Because of this there are a lot of issues - meetings cancelled, schools closed, businesses closed, medical appointments cancelled, traffic lights stop working, even coffee shops were affected. Seems that when the power is cut off, disconnected or disrupted, things get crazy and problematic. Maybe this is a reminder and an opportunity?
When we do not regularly keep our connection healthy with God. When we stop praying, when we ignore our Bibles, when we decide to live in our own ways and not in and through the Holy Spirit, then life gets Spiritually disrupted and messed up. But just like the electricity being out does not affect the gas being out, so our regular living is not affected by this Spiritual disconnect is it? But maybe it is? Sure the gas is on but my furnace fan will not operate without power so my house will get cold. Similarly our Spiritual state of being will have an effect on other parts of our lives.
We are called to live as disciples of Jesus, fully following Him. Part of this is our responsibility to stay connected with our Lord by the reading of His Word, staying in communion with the Father through prayer and living every day in and through the Holy Spirit. For us to grow and be healthy disciples we need this connection.
So now I will go and use some of this time to read my Bible.
Take care everyone
Preacherman
