Are you aware of how many things
must be “turned on” in order for your life to have meaning? What if we turned them all off... the
TV, the computer, the cell phone, the lights, the air conditioner, the stove,
refrigerator, washer, dryer, hot water heater and took the keys to the car? What “you” would you have left?
That is what these chapters are
all about. Countries, cultures and
people who have been so “turned on” by all their stuff that they have lost
awareness of the One Being who turns us all on, who gives each of us life and
the awareness of life.
Here’s awareness: last night all the stars were in their
right places, hopeful shards of white guidance right where they were suppose to
be. This morning the sun is up
warm and right on time. It rained
yesterday: the creeks flow and the mountains are covered in fir, spruce and
aspen. Birds are singing; crows
are cawing; the rocks are still in place and the earth is firm under foot and
filled with good clean oxygen…
And I didn’t turn any of it
on!!!
Who’s turning all this stuff on?
“Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits
on high to have compassion on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice, how blessed are all those who…
long for Him.” 30:18
WHAT A TURN ON.
