Reset!

My cell phone drives me nuts every single day. Each morning I wake to discover that at some point in the night it has reset to a default setting and gone off Wi-Fi and the blue tooth turns off and more often than not the data is off.  This is a frustrating thing that can quickly become a source of a bad attitude for the rest of the day - or until I go to the settings and do what needs to be done to get connected properly and to get information flowing.  You can probably see where I'm going here.  

Surrendering to God is not a once and you're done kind of thing.  It's just not.  Every time we wake up from our rest, be it morning, noon or night - we have reverted to our default setting (without ever meaning to...).  And guess what?  Lately I've noticed that my phone has developed a mind of its own and it goes back to the default setting randomly throughout the day.  Some days it reverts to the default while I'm still actively using an application.  It slows down, won't go online and deliver that instant gratification that I am so addicted to, it won't send a text, receive a text - simply stated, it just doesn't serve the purpose for which it was created.  And you know, when my attitude reverts to its default setting - my human nature - I don't serve the purpose for which I was created either.

I’ll bet that you've heard or read many times how important it is to make time early in your day to spend time with God, praying, listening, surrendering...  that is our reset. Resetting our day and our attitude is as simple as a whisper of surrender to God.  It doesn't take a lot of time.  It’s not complicated. It’s not difficult.  It’s a decision.  Just do it.  Even if you have to do it a lot.  Just do it!  You won't regret it.  Promise.
