When we were just kids my Mom and Dad brought home this new device called the Radar Range. A new marvel for that time and it was going to make life so much easier. Food can be heated up or even cooked in a fraction of the time a conventional oven would take. What a concept. Having this new tool would allow for us to spend less time dealing with food and devoting to other things like, cleaning our rooms, cutting the grass or doing whatever activity ( chore ) my parents could come up with. You remember the Radar Range? It did not have the cool LCD screens and multiple settings for the various types of food like the ones we have today. ( now called Microwave’s ) It had these Big Dials, one for regular cooking and the other for defrost. Because of this new technology, we were thrust into a new way of Living….. Until then we took things easy, never in any hurry to get somewhere and a bit more slow paced. Not a bad life if you ask me. I walked into the kitchen one day and there was my brother standing at the Radar Range and tapping his fingers waiting for the dial to turn to completion so he could eat. The Buzzer dinged and he opened the door and what he pulled out was not very appetizing……. He had decided he wanted some eggs and did not feel like taking the time to make them the normal way in a skillet on the stove. Well, when you place an egg in the microwave, it has a tendency to Explode , and that is exactly what happened. Of course he ate the eggs and continued to use the Radar Range for things he wanted NOW, regardless of how it looked or even tasted. It was fast and that was all that mattered.
We have this obsession with “ Fast Food “ and although it is convenient and a lot of it taste good, look at what it has done to us as a Nation. Over a period of time while achieving satisfaction in a quick and easy fashion, we have put our lives, bodies and even way of living at risk. As a result of this mentality we are unhealthy and always struggling with the way we look and feel.
Do we do the same thing to God? Are we always looking for that quick answer or easy solution to whatever it is we are going through? We want to only give him a few minutes if that a day and then we expect everything to be alright. God desires communion with us, He created us for that purpose among other reasons. When you take the time to really walk with God, communicate daily and seek Him, only then is your life going to turn around and truly reflect a life of blessing.
Ephesians 6:18 says, “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. “
If we just take a moment, slow down and really take the time to talk to God, and then really listen, our lives will see the result of that patience and commitment.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” The Message translation puts it this way…. ( Matthew 6:30-33 )” If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. “
Take time to really seek God and dig deeper and watch what He will do in your life as a result.
Can I get a Witness?
