Completely Plugged In . . .
My wife was working at home on her computer recently when she suddenly noticed her laptop battery power was low and the computer was about to shut down. The computer was plugged in, though, so it should not have been using the battery.Following the laptop cord to the extension cord, she finally noticed that the extension was actually plugged back into itself instead of the wall outlet! She looked at me, amused, and said, "There is a devotional in there somewhere.
As she said it, I remembered a passage of Scripture on the power of God: (Isaiah 40:27-31). Isaiah identifies the true and unending source of strength from which we must draw ours-"the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth."
Jesus spoke of us as branches abiding in Him as the Vine (John 15:4-5). It is actually a parallel to Isaiah's powerful closing, which promises that if we are plugged into God we will 'run and not be weary . . . walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31).
When we find ourselves weary and distressed, we need to plug into the true source of strength and life. The Creator of the universe knows no power failure.
