Plugged In

This morning what I seen was a wall socket that's empty with power supply cord nearby yet it's not plugged in. God says that’s how His people are at times. We've been trying to do too much in our strength. Human strength always gets weary or becomes depleted. In this age there's a lot of things to get plugged into. With cell phones, emails, instant messenger, facebook, twitter, and TV, we're always plugged into the latest news, happenings, information, celebrity gossip. However, the most important power source connection lies untapped often. The Internet allows us to be connected to people, places, and ministries all over the world. Even being connected to ministry leaders is not enough because they are human. And human strength always wane at some point. God has given us the Holy Spirit - the ultimate power source. Yet, we still try to fulfill our daily assignments and use our giftings through our own abilities. We can't even love right without being properly connected to the power source. Loving through natural strength alone will diminish because that's what human strength does. The Holy Spirit comes to give us the ability do what we could not do. His job is far greater than a jump, shout, or goose bumps during a weekly church service. He's available everyday to give us a supernatural boast. Getting plugged in is our choice.
