Connection

Elder Sean D. Smith

For thus says the Lord: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

 

- Jeremiah 29:10-14, NKJV

How is your connection with God? Is it as fuzzy as your cell phone when you’re miles away from a tower or perhaps non-existent because you’ve terminated your service? Know that as with your cell phone company, service is available whether you are connected or not…in other words “it” is out there and available for use as long as you stay connected. God is looking for “you” to re-establish your connection with Him that His signal, His voice, and all of His data may be transmitted to you clearly regardless of where you find yourself. So are you willing to re-connect or have you grown so accustomed to drop/missed calls and bad signals that you no longer care about your reception? Understand there is no clearer signal and no better reception than with God [For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints (1 Corinthians 14:33, NKJV)], yet you continue to follow the ways of “they”, “them”, and “those” in choosing a “cheaper” and “unclear” plan. God’s connection to you is love and peace, not anger and evil. In choosing His plan you will not only secure the former, but extinguish the latter as well. Today is a great day to check on your connection with God…knowing that even if it has been severed, there are several technicians within the Church who can help re-establish/reconnect you to Him.

BE BLESSED!
