Pre-Pairing
I know at times we long for more simple days. Less gadgets and things that distract us but I've got to say that there are certain inventions that I am really thankful for. Like bluetooth capability for example. I love that I can connect and control things wirelessly from my phone. It makes life easier!
When I started wearing a smartwatch I had to pair it to my phone before it could do all the things that I wanted it to do. It's not a difficult process. It just requires time and a bit of setup to make sure that my phone, my watch, and I are all on the same page. We could call it 'PRE-pairing'. The connection process is necessary for maximum results. And my smartwatch is only paired to my phone. I can't look at my smartwatch and read someone else's messages or receive another person's phone calls. My watch and my phone are synced up to each other to keep me on track and going in the right direction.
There is a 'pre-paring' of another kind that needs to happen with us and it has nothing to do with equipment or technology. It has everything to do with our connection to God. Every day we must make sure we are synced up with the Holy Spirit to be sure we are prepared and ready for our day ahead. Our journey will be arduous at times. There will be twists and turns in the road. Places and people that require extra wisdom and knowledge to fulfill the purpose and plans that God has for us to accomplish.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (ESV) tells us, "But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”, these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God."
Have you PRE-paired with the Master yet today? Good news...you don't need wifi to do it! This kind of pairing requires only a moment of focused prayer to get started. God has prepared things for us and He will reveal them to us through His Spirit. Be sure you are paired and synced up!!
