The church I pastor, Living Hope church in Little Falls and Rice, MN has just started the series, "One Month to Live, 30 Days to a No-Regrets Life", by Kerry & Chris Shook. The book by that title is a New York Times bestseller.
Today is day #4, "Power Surge, connecting with the ultimate source".
"People who know their lives will soon be over tend to feel a desperate urge to change. But a desperation to change is not enough. In order to sustain the changes, we have to be connected to a power source beyond ourselves-a power source that never wavers, flickers, or leaves us in the dark. We have to move from willpower to the real power that comes from a connection to our Creator." p. 26
As a pastor I have witnessed several people who have had a "death-bed conversion". Upon their reflecting on life and the final days that are nearing, there is a realization that something needs to change. Their life without God has been incomplete. This has always motivated me to evaluate my connection to God. We all know it can be easy to "drift" away or at the very least, loose our motivation. Power for living, whether it is one day or 100 years comes from our connection to our Creator.
Take a moment and ask yourself, "What is one thing you can do today to connect with God in a greater way?" Now...enjoy the power surge.
