Home Hub

 
I saw the craziest message appear on my phone the other day. It read, "Living Room has not been responding for a while. Your home may not behave as expected." What in the world?!! We don't have a home "hub". Our lights, our thermostat and our doors ALL work the old-fashioned way. By hand! But apparently when I set up a Google smart device a few years ago and named it 'living room' my phone stored it in the HOME icon.

A message that my home may not behave as I expect it to made me chuckle. As if my home has life in it. Alerting me of something that had been connected to it has not been responding for a while. Interesting. That an app on my phone could be more intuitive than me. Totally possible. What if we had a sensor that alerted us to our disconnection. Sometimes it's subtle at first. We miss our quiet time with God. We don't pay attention as closely to the ones around us and maybe even begin to distance ourselves from others. We wander off. Maybe not physically; but, mentally, emotionally we can begin to shut down.

As Believers, we DO have a sensor! The Holy Spirit! He notices every temperature change. Every shift away from being connected. If we will keep our heart open to hear His quiet, or sometimes not so subtle, message of warning, we'll know that we need to make an adjustment. John 16:13 (NLT) says, "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future." He will not only alert us to what is going on but He will give us wisdom in what is to come. One thing is for sure. If we don't stay connected to Him, WE may not behave as expected! If you haven't already ... be sure to plug in today! The Holy Spirit IS our heart's 'home hub'!
