Acts 3:19 “Now
it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so He can wipe away
your sins, and pour out showers of blessing to refresh you…”
Greetings,
Last week my
internet went kaput, and I was temporarily denied access to the World Wide
Web. Given my almost unhealthy codependency
with the www, I immediately went to the app on my phone, hit the "send a
refresh signal" button so the main switch could re-establish communication
with my equipment, and then waited an arduous five minutes for my modem to
reboot.
Sometimes in our
hectic, running around all day, not getting enough sleep, too much on our
plates, the kids are misbehaving , and the dog has poop on his paws - don’t let
him in the house existences, we too might find ourselves going kaput.
We know how to
pray, we know what we need to do, we know where the “Main Switch” is, but He is
not receiving any alerts, bells, SOS's, buzzers, whistles, or sirens from us. Barely even a nod or a wink.
The time to turn to God and send a refresh signal is right now!
When we turn to Him
He pours out showers of blessings and refreshes us. A shower is an
abundance of something. God does not send a trickle, mist, squirt,
dribble, or spray. He sends a deluge of whatever we need to get back
up and running with joy, peace, strength, hope, faith, health, and love.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We come to You
now and face You because sometimes we get bogged down with our lives and
there’s a failure to connect. We know You are there waiting for us
to turn to You so You can flood our lives with Your goodness. Flood
us now, dear Lord. We need it. And thank You that You are
always ready to refresh us. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
