how's your connection?

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit? Who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price..." 1 Corinthians 6:19

What a mess!  The power company was upgrading power lines in our neighborhood. As a homeowner, your yard is not completely yours; others have the right-of-way to it as well.  And as luck would have it, our yard served as a primary location for some utility work.

Although we were not happy about the power company taking up residence in our yard, we did look forward to better service.  Not only would we benefit from the work, but our neighbors would too.  It was important to remember the inconvenience and ugliness of the moment would reap better service to all around us.

As a believer, we do not belong just to ourselves.  We belong to God; He permanently resides within us.  When the world and temptations weaken us and our heart wires get crossed, God has the right-of-way to revamp and recharge His Power within us.  While His working in us can make us uncomfortable, upset or ill at the time, the end result is being more like Him.  Clearing the path of shorten fuses, dirt and other debris allows for His Light and Power to shine through, strengthened by less interference and misdirection. In the end, an improved connection to our Source of Eternal Life reaps benefits to us and all in our pathway.

"being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6

Thank You, Father.

may we live like we believe it,
