Re-enter/Reset

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!
