QUICK CHARGE
By Sally I. Kennedy
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live
your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the
faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6,7
I forgot to charge the cell phone. As I grabbed it on my way out the
door, I happened to notice the battery was way down. So I went back
and plugged it in, hoping for a quick charge. I planned to fully
charge it when I got back to my office.
Wonder of wonders the cell phone charged up quickly, at least enough
for me to use it for awhile. Kinda reminded me of days when I either
don't have time, or haven't taken the time, to recharge my spiritual
battery. Those days I need a stop-gap measure, a quick charge to get
me through. Things like, a Christian song playing on my iPod while
I'm getting ready to leave the house, especially tunes that include
Bible verses. Or a Bible teaching CD in my car on the way to pick up
kids. Or a short prayer I send up while I'm on my way to a meeting.
Or a calendar in the kitchen with a bible verse for each day of the
year.
Just a thought, something of the LORD to focus me on Him- not on me,
not on my circumstances; on Him.
It is just that, a quick charge, and it doesn't take the place of one-
on-one time with the Lord in prayer and meditation and reading His
word. But sometimes it is just what works for the moment, a quick
charge.
Thank you, Lord, for quick charges that focus us on You.
