Connected - Dormant
September 23
Here's a new computer message I received yesterday when trying to log on...
"connected-dormant". Does that sound like our faith at times? We are connected to Christ and nothing is going to break that bond, but our faith is in a dormant state.
God has given me a double dip today with this thought. I opened my Streams in the Desert devotional and read:
John 7:38 says: Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.
"Some of us are troubled, wondering why the Holy Spirit doesn't fill us, The problem is that we have plenty coming in but we are not giving out to others. If you will give the blessing you have received, planning your life around greater service and being a blessing to those around you, then you will quickly find that the Holy Spirit is with you. He will bestow blessings to your for service, giving you all He can trust you to give away to others."
What an easily accessible antidote to dormancy!
