This morning, Facebook, Instagram and Messenger were all down for a couple hours or so. As I was having my quiet time with the Lord, I pondered something. I imagine a lot of people were uncomfortably shaken by the lack of contact with their friends, family, or even strangers that they follow online. But I wondered, do we get that uncomfortable when we start the day without God? When we rush into the day before we’ve taken time to pray and read his Word?
We should be uncomfortable if we rush into the day without connecting first with our Lord and Savior, who created us and is in complete control of our day. We should feel uncomfortable if we haven’t called to him and asked him for peace in the midst of all we have going on around us. We should feel uncomfortable if we rush ahead without first seeking his wisdom and guideance.
The great news is that his line of communication is always open. He is available to us 24/7, 365 days a year. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ when he died on the cross for our sins, we have access to our Heavenly Father anytime. We don’t have to wait for a certain time or day. We don’t have to go through another person in order to communicate with God. We can just talk to him directly anytime, and he promises us that if we seek him with our whole heart, he will be found by us. When we call out to him, he always listens. He is never too busy, too tired, or unavailable for us.
So before you rush off into your day, take time to meet with God. He knows your every need and he will take care of you. He loves you so much that he chose to create you and he desires to have a relationship with you. Call out to him and talk to him as you would a loving father, because that’s just who He is.
