Tuesday’s Musings: My Meandering Mouse


Matthew 4:4  Jesus replied, “It’s written, People won’t live only by bread, but by every word spoken by God.

I like having a cordless keyboard and cordless mouse for my computers but it seems that my keyboard chooses to fail at the most inopportune times causing me to pray I don’t lose my document in the process of replacing the batteries.  The mouse however has a charging station and needs no batteries.  When it starts running out of juice the cursor just seems to wander aimlessly across the dual computer screens.  I have a hard time getting it under control to point where I need it to be.  I must recharge it before proceeding.  I find in my life that I need recharging, also in order to help me stay focused.  A few days in the mountains has recharged me mentally and physically. Yet we are also spiritual people.  Prayer helps but it alone is not sufficient.  We must go to the Word of God.  The Bible tells us that “Every scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing mistakes, for correcting, and for training character, so that the person who belongs to God can be equipped to do everything that is good.”(2 Timothy 3:16-17)  Let us not neglect reading our Bibles on a regular basis so that we may stay spiritually recharged!

Holy God we know that Your word is a lamp before our feet and a light for our journeys. We pray that as we read and study scripture the Holy Spirit will enliven it for us and bring us understanding of its relevance to our lives.  In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
Have a blessed day,
Paige
