Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at the home security monitoring stations?
Do you
wonder if they catch on that you must have forgotten something as you
re-enter/reset your system just moments after ‘signing out’? Do you think they make
guesses as to what it was that you forgot?
I admit, I
think that often…as I often have to re-enter/reset. And, yes, sometimes it is re-enter/reset more
than once as I try to leave the house!
I wonder
if the crew makes ‘bets’ as to who observes the most resets each morning?
That made
me think about our need to
re-enter/reset for our other HMS-our HEART Monitoring System.
We are
ready to leave and face the day. We have had our morning devotional time. We
have prayed and asked God to please ‘place one hand on our shoulder and the
other over our mouth.’
We have
left with our Heart Monitoring System turned on. But...it isn’t too long
afterwards when we forget to guard our tongue, or we forget to ‘Be ye kind’, or we
forget to…you know…as the list goes on and on. We forget something and have to
re-enter/reset.
Let's consider our home monitoring system. How many resets are allowed per day?
The number is limitless. All they are interested in is making sure we reset
each time we re-enter. (I learned that lesson the hard way once!)
Now,
consider our Heart Monitoring System. How many resets are allowed per day? The
answer is the same. The number is limitless as long as we reset each time. 1
John 1:9 states,
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive
our sins….”
That is our reset code.
Does God
need to guess about what we may have forgotten? No,… because He KNOWS!
Does God
need to wonder when we are going to ‘do’ our first reset? No,… because He KNOWS!
Does God
laugh and make light of our daily resets? No,...because He CARES!
Matter of
fact, He cares so much that He reminds us to reset! I sure wish our home
monitoring system had reminded me that day when the sheriff showed up at our
home, and our daughter (last on the list to be contacted) got the call that our
alarm was going off when no one else could be reached! BTW: It was my phone that I re-entered for
and gave up looking for it.
Remember
to reset!
