Romans 7:14-15<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am not sure if you will agree with me or not, but it just seems to me that with our modern electronic devices there are a lot more glitches<\/em> than I ever knew existed. It seems that just about the time I get one thing functioning correctly, another device starts acting up or quits entirely.<\/p>\n

My computer decided to die on me over the week-end. One minute it was functional and the next minute there was nothing but blank screen staring back at me. When I returned it to the store where I purchased it, the technician discovered that indeed I was right. The screen was blank and there was nothing that could be done at the store. It had to be returned to the repair depot and I am looking at up to two weeks for the repairs. I was happy that I had kept my old computer—the one I am using right now—in order to continue my ministry. It does not function as conveniently as the other computer, but I am able to get by.<\/p>\n

The glitches<\/em> of my life are nothing in comparison with the struggles that have confronted God’s people across the ages. It is one thing to know what God has called us to do, but sometimes we make a wrong decision and a glitch<\/em> suddenly appears.<\/p>\n

I have come to realize that these glitches<\/em> can be a blessing. It is when things go wrong that we spend more time with the Lord, seeking His direction for our life. It is not spiritually critical that we live a life of ease. It is, however, very critical that we listen to the Lord as He directs our steps to the path He has chosen for us.<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
