Do you know what is one of the most frequently left behind items in a hotel room? The phone charger! Perhaps you’ve done it yourself. And when do you typically realize that you left it behind?…Of course. Not until your battery is low and you need to charge it again.

So much of what we use in our day to day requires charging. Computers. Phones. Watches. They all require a power source to keep them running at optimum level so we are careful to plug them in to charge. We unplug them for convenience to carry them around, to use them wherever and whenever we need them. And from the moment we unplug them from the power source…they begin to lose their charge. Sooner or later we have to get them back to the power source again for recharging.

Sound familiar? We require charging too! It’s not just about resting and sleeping. We were created and designed to connect with our Maker. Our power source is God. Getting plugged in to Him, every day, is vitally important. And the instant we unplug from the Lord…we begin to lose our charge. Listen to what the Amplified Bible, Classic Edition tells us in 1 Corinthians 8:6. “Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things and for Whom we [have life]…”

Staying plugged into our power source is the best way to live. Then we never have to wonder where our charger went!
