Prepare-An Internet Cafe Devotion

It was a dark and stormy…Okay it really wasn’t but I’ve always wanted to use those words. However, there was a power outage for several hours and the Lord is good.

He had blessed us with beautiful weather that day, so it really didn’t throw us off. The sky was a beautiful blue, that reminded me of a clear lake with minimum clouds in the sky and a gentle wind that blew consistently.

We opened up the windows to let the fresh air in and it felt like silk was pouring in and settled on things that were non-powered, like a book, to help past the time.

It hit me how dependent that we are on technology for all our needs. If the power outage had lasted any longer, I knew that I would have to ration how often we opened the refrigerator, find the lighter fluid and charcoal to use the grill, since the stove wouldn’t work and so on.
How did we go so far that if something happened, we couldn’t fall back as easily?
Imagine what our ancestors had to do without technology and yet, they made it.
This brought to light a more revealing revelation, how much reliance do we have to fall back on our Father’s Word when we really need it the most.
It’s amazing, with today’s latest advances, that you can download His entire Word on a phone or look it up on a computer, but during a previous hurricane, we learned very quickly that technology is fleeting and not always reliable. Even technology has its limits.
