Unplugging to Recharge
When your smartphone is down to one-percent left on its charge, what do you do? If you’re like most of us, you dig out your charging cord as fast as you can and make a mad dash to the nearest available outlet. Isn’t that like what we try to do in life? When we’re depleted we try to plug into what we think will give us a quick charge—people, food, entertainment, spending money, or maybe chasing prestige or position. Those sources may deliver a momentary spark, but they won’t empower us to live a fully charged life - they will leave us living in a constant state of low power mode. This episode will empower you to seek the recharging you need in God so you can live a life of impact without wearing yourself out.
Prayer is Your Power Cord
Even the best things in life will wear us down eventually if we never stop to rest and find renewal in time with God. Too often today, we confuse doing activities we enjoy, like spending time with friends or family, as true rest. Doing things we enjoy is great, but we simply can’t be busy all the time and expect to be refreshed by God. Somewhere you’ve got to stop and rest.
The Bible shows that Jesus himself was not connected to the people he loved 24/7. Time and time again, after he preached to the multitudes, healed the sick, or loved those in need, he withdrew to pray. Prayer will connect you—at any time and at any place—to the One who powers you.
