Connections - Daily Inspiration

Luke 9:23-24 NIV

I recently got an iPod Touch. It's a pretty amazing little device. And as I told my cousin, Shaun, it's a little scary how connected you can be to the world with it. Internet, email, Twitter, Facebook. It does everything an iPhone does except place calls.

We have that same connection to God. He's available to us 24/7. He doesn't sleep. He doesn't take breaks. And when you need him he's right there beside you, loving you through your problem, difficulty or concern. He's there for you even if the need is tiny. Even if the need is mountainous.

But remember, God doesn't always say YES to everything. Sometimes his stoic answer no is exactly what we need. God knows our hearts. He knows our every thought. He's known us since the beginning of creation.

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Romans 8:27

So the next time you click on one of those apps on your iPhone, iPod, iPad or whatever, remember that it's just as simple to call out to God. Our creator. Our redeemer. Our protector. Call on him today.

Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, “LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. LORD, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.”
2 Chronicles 14:11
