Our Power Supply

3/13/2013
I have always tended to think of myself as a (spiritually) “battery operated tool”, so to speak. I plug in to God at various times through fellowship, taking in His word, or prayer, and then “go out” into the world to live for him. The result has always been an “up and down” experience. The “charge” soon wears off and I’m left living on my own power, a certain recipe for failure.
    I recently realized that I’m not battery powered. I’m a plug-in “tool”. I have to stay plugged in to Jesus all the time. I am always in need. I must always keep my beggar’s hands open to receive from Him. Since no one of us has enough to go around, our supply is limited, we don’t like beggars and mooches. But I am a beggar and a mooch with God, and that’s just the way He wants it. He doesn’t mind my mooching off of him because He knows I have no supply apart from His and His supply is unlimited! 1Thess 5:17 “Pray without ceasing”, I.E. stay plugged in.
