The Remote Control

I can remember when the remote control became a popular item in the home.  After using it for a while I would find myself clicking that thing, without thinking, at appliances that didn’t even come with a remote. We have become so accustomed to using the remote that when it is lost we will walk right past the stereo or television in order to find the remote to switch channels or turn off the appliance.  Now, isn’t that just like creatures of habit?  As I type this blog today I realize that we treat our relationship with God in the same manner.  We pick Him up when He is needed desperately; otherwise He is tossed to the side and lost without a cause until we need Him.  Likewise, we pass by His word (Bible) everyday in order to find a quick fix that may or may not correct our problem.  We pass by the Bible looking for ways to get us out of our current situation or circumstance, when all we have to do is stop and pick up the Word which will direct our every path.  The answer to all of our problems is right there in front of us, but we will go in every other direction looking for the answer instead of going to the one that is within sight.  God is much more than a magic genie, whom you may think will come out when you call him and magically grant you the wishes (desires) of your heart.  He is our Creator, our Lifeline, our Father, the Holiest of Holies, the Alpha and Omega and everything in between.  He is life and He requires us to know Him on an intimate level, not just when we need to pick Him up and have Him solve a problem.  He wants a relationship with you that surpasses any relationship you’ve ever encountered or ever will.  Won’t you develop that type of relationship with Him starting today? He’s waiting.

Love and Blessings,

Lady Monica
