Devotions for Techies

Most of us have been forced online due to the Coronavirus.  So many online meetings for work, school, family celebrations and check-ins.  Meeting online is fraught with hurdles:  timing with other householders who also need to be online, limited bandwidth,  choice between camera and/or mic, fuzzy and freezing screens, audio feedback, voices that don't sync with the speaker...  Connecting and communicating with clarity are not always ideal.  Still we persist.  Why?

Hard-core techies like the challenge.  Many are driven by deadlines set by the boss or the teacher.  Some need to hear a loved one's voice or to see a familiar face after too long a separation.  To give up is to surrender to isolation, loneliness, or drift without purpose.

Happily, we mere mortals can readily connect with our Father and Creator God.  Our Lord Jesus appeared on earth in the flesh to meet people like us.  He personally delivered messages from the Father.  God sent the Holy Spirit to indwell believers.  The Spirit counsels, comforts, empowers,  advocates, and brings teachings to remembrance.  Jesus taught us how to pray and assured us that we would be heard by God at anytime and from anywhere.  In a word, our Father in Heaven offers us "net neutrality"; we have equal access to almighty, unconditional Love.  He knows what's on our mind before we even say one word. 

Make time daily for this mysterious and wonder-filled meeting, powered by love.  God asks that we seek him wholeheartedly, that we listen to his voice, that we love and obey, and that we glorify his name.  He has something he needs to tell you, something he needs you to understand today.
