Our phones and Internet have been down at the office since Monday – that is a blessing and a bummer!  A blessing because it forces you to work on other things in other ways.  A bummer in that life seems much easier with open lines of almost instant communication!

That got me to thinking about our communication with God.  It should always be open and available, but often times it is not.  The reason is not on God’s end – it is on our end!  We allow sin to come in between us and God and the sin gets in the way of the flow of information and communication that makes our life meaningful.  Often the sin that we allow to get in between us and God is a lack of taking the time to communicate.  Or maybe it is taking the time, but rushing through it, so that it really does not mean anything!

Take some time to check your lines of communication with your Creator.  Make sure that the lines are open, working and free from any distractions.  Our life will be better for it and we will really appreciate what we often take for granted!
