Staying in Contact

Rule #4:  Stay in Touch with the "Control Tower."

Just as airplane pilots must maintain contact with air traffic control towers, you and I must stay in touch with God--the one who sees the big picture of our lives and who orchestrates everything that involves us.  He makes sure everything that needs to happen in our lives happens at the right time, moves at the appropriate speed, and causes us to arrive safely at the "destinations" He has planned for us.

If we want to stay on track with God and do so with good attitudes, we have to make communication with Him a priority in our daily schedules.  He will help you navigate the ups and downs of life, and find your way through the "cloudy" days when you can't seem to see the next step you need to take.  I can't urge you strongly enough to communicate with Him frequently through prayer, reading His word, worship, and simple acknowledgment of His presence and guidance throughout everyday.

How is your personal relationship with God?  If it's less satisfying than you would like, what adjustments can you make to improve it?  (Joyce Meyer-Power Thoughts)

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

I have to be mindful that I don't spend all my time searching the scriptures and my prayer life consists of throwing up a request every now and then.  Christ has instructed  that prayer should be such an intricate part of us that it is constant.  Prayer becomes a state of mind--who we are in Christ.

I'm tired this morning, woke up at 2:30 thinking about libraries and could not get to sleep.  Finally just got up at 3:15 a.m. to start the day.  I'm off all next week and am looking forward to cleaning and cooking.  Yes, you read correctly--I love to clean and cook.  I would have been the "perfect" housewife back in the fifties; maybe minus the heels while cleaning.

Have a Great Day!
