Acts 3:19 “...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 again 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. We barely even offer a nod or a wink.
But the time to turn to God and ask for a refresh signal is right now!
When we turn to Him He pours out showers of blessings and rejuvenates 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 and reinvigorate us. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
