Oooo…it feels so good to get plugged in!
After our home experienced much electrical difficulties since the lightning strike, I haven’t been able to get onto my computer. Praise the Lord that my brand new laptop wasn’t “plugged in” to its power cord when the lightning did strike, but the cord itself was and got completely fried. I’ve been waiting four days for my new cord to be delivered, and it arrived last night. Woohoo!
This week I’ve purchased a new study bible AND my cord came in. I feel like I’m getting “plugged back in” to my journaling routine with God. I love it!
Have you ever felt disconnect from something: family, friends, work, school, church, God,…? I know that I’ve gone through seasons of “disconnect”. It wasn’t always a bad thing. I believe God truly “unplugged” me from situations to keep me energized in Him. (Thank You, God!) But there have been times when my disconnect had me feeling lonely, sad, and distant. I longed for a connection.
My friend, just like being disconnected from something isn’t always a bad thing, being disconnected from your relationship with God IS a bad thing.
It doesn’t matter what type of difficulties you’ve experienced in your life, God wants you plugged in to Him. Let the Lord be your Power Source.
In Matthew 6:33 we are instructed to “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” Staying connected to God (seeking Him FIRST and living right) is energizing! Staying plugged in to Jesus is strength in your weakness.
When you are staying “plugged in” remember: “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14. So shine bright for God.
I pray that you will and encourage you to get and/or stay connected:
- Through your prayer life
- Getting involved in a church and small group
- Listening to Christian music (I like all types of genre, but when I’m tuned in to my Joy or spirit FM radio or the message on satellite radio, boy oh boy do I feel free, at peace, energized, CONNECTED!)
- Surround yourself with good/godly people to lean on
- Open up your bible and delve into it. This the BEST source of staying connected with God. It’s Him! His breath. Soak Him in!
Don’t allow a little “lightning” bolt keep you disconnect from what matters most in life. Let it energize you to shine brighter for Him!
I pray many blessings and much joy for you! Have a wonderful day. – Stephanie
