Connections

Thank you Lord for a warm sunny day after our past week with snow then ice! It was in the 60’s today so you know this grandma went riding, not just once but twice. The ground was a bit soggy and slick getting the bike out of my building,  but once on the road it was smooth sailing, I mean riding. It felt like forever since I’d ridden and yet it was just like it was yesterday too, it’s hard to explain.

It was definitely some much needed wind therapy. I turned on my location tracker so that my hubby could see where I was if he wanted or needed to and I was off to wherever the roads took me. After riding about 45 minutes on my first ride,  I turned and headed towards home. As I was travelling back I wondered how my ride appeared to my hubby if he was watching it then all of a sudden I realized I’d messed up. I had turned on the location tracker but couldn’t remember if I turned on my mobile data.  This meant as soon as I was out of Wi-Fi range with our computer,  my signal to my hubby was lost if I hadn’t turned on the data. So much for the feeling of comfort I had been experiencing knowing he could see me. 😥

The more I thought about it, the more God spoke to me through it. He always knows where I am and I always know where He is if I need Him. Simply knowing where He is doesn’t do me any good though if my “data connection” isn’t turned on. In order to be connected with Him, I need to have the line of communication open. I need my mental data tuned in and turned on. My signal can’t reach my hubby without the data turned on and God can’t reach me if I am not tuned in to Him either. He is always there, but will not force Himself on us. He gives us the choice, we have free will. We can either accept Him or reject Him. Personally I choose to accept Him. I couldn’t get through a single day in this crazy and sad world we live in without Him. On my 2nd ride today, I made sure my location and my data were turned on! I always want to be able to be found by God AND my hubby. 😀 I’ve been lost before in my life and don’t ever want to be again, spiritually or physically.

Joshua 24:15

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
