So another Andy B 2 Minute Video Vlog. “Plugged In and Not Switched On”. morning, erm, busily getting some stuff done. I plugged it into the back of a laptop; I put the plug near the plug on the floor – and of course didn’t actually plug it in. relationships with God because God is always there; the mains power in my house, I’m very certain, will be there it’s. It’s always there really, just like God IS always there.
And yet if we pay the electricity bill, and we have a plug socket, and we have a mains socket, and we put the plug near to the main socket – it’s not the same as plugging it in! Which got me thinking about our Bible reading; our prayer life; that time spent with God. Are we getting the plug near the main socket? Are we sitting there with their bibles open, but not actually reading it? Are we praying, but just going through the motions of reading stuff out?
Or are we actually can be praying and talking to God – and talking means listening to God too. Are we gonna to open the Bible and see where He takes us, or are we gonna be even more strategic than that and actually have a plan – so we know what we’re gonna read; we know what we need to read – and get on with it. It’s very, very easy to have the plug socket right next to where the main socket is in our life with God (as a metaphor). I was working away.
on the battery started beeping at me – that I realised there was something wrong. Let’s make sure when we’re spending time with God, and we’re reading the Bible or we’re praying, or whatever – that we’re not just plugged in, but we’re actually switched on as well.
