Margaret was driving me across town today on some errands,
and we both noticed several people on their cell phones, either texting or
talking as they attempted to drive in busy traffic. I have also noticed a lot
of people in other places who are on their smart phones, their IPads or their
laptops as soon as they can get online. The people in traffic messing with their cell phones
got me thinking about how connected we all seem to think we need to be. The
thought came to me, “How connected are we all to God?” Just think about how the
world would be if everyone felt they had to be that “connected” to our Creator
in heaven, who would like nothing more than to have us Love Him that much and
miss Him that much that we had to almost constantly seek to be in touch with
Him!
All that God asks of
us is to love Him with our whole hearts, our whole minds, and our whole souls!
Do we Love Him that much? Are we ”that connected” with Him? Here is a small
challenge that may make all of us better as Christians. The next time you go to
sign in online, make a call, or use your portable device, say a short prayer to
God and tell Him you love Him and tell Him how your day is going. The next time you want to twitter, tell God
how your day is going. He cares about you more than you can imagine. Let’s try to be better “connected with the One that matters
the most!”
