Capabilities

August 31

Twenty four icons stare at me across the bottom of my computer screen and I know how to utilize about half of them. Numerous others are hidden away, of which I am totally ignorant as to their capabilities. Our kids laugh because I don't even know the names of the various technological instruments we have. Is it a Mac or an Apple? Yes, I know the cell phone and the computer! No, I couldn't tell you what type or style they are. Now do I know how to set an alarm on it or keep my calendar dates store within? No. The real struggle comes with the names iPod touch, shuffle, and I think the music thing that is just simply an iPod?

Beyond not knowing what they are called, I haven't begun to tape into all the functions these tools are equipped to perform.

It is the same way with our relationship to God. We may have asked Christ to come in as Savior assuring us our sins are forgiven and name is in the Book of Life. Our prayer lives may even be soundly in tack and actively in use, but there is so much more available to us through our relationship with Christ and the transforming power available to us through the Holy Spirit. We have not touched the tip of the iceberg of God's capabilities.

1 Corinthians 2:9
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—
