Going to the temple to pray every day was not a ritual but a necessity to the early disciples. Hmm!
A short! Faulty wiring! It's a nuisance. It drains the battery, causes static in the music or the TV picture. Causes the car to stall, etc. It robs us of the intended use of our devices causing much frustration. Here's a question to consider. What do we allow to steal our energy and grieve the Holy Spirit within us? Our spiritual well-being and growth is energized by our connection with God and His Word. It can be greatly diminished by small little parasites and distractions, things that may seem minute and inconsequential to us, but a major impediment to our connection. It all depends on where and how we stop to feed ourselves. If we're giving more time to social media feeds, worldly passions/pursuits, or even earthly success, we're being drawn away from our true source of power. God doesn't distance Himself from us, but we can distance ourselves from Him, allowing for much interference.
Until tomorrow...
