The Creator of the Universe has given us the unique ability to tap into His resources at a moment’s notice.  Seriously-we pray and get answers.  We don’t always like the responses we get (and sometimes we think the timing is slow) but we can’t deny that we have open access to the Heavenly Throne.  We actually have super powers!  And yet, we decide to only scratch the surface of our reach.  We pray- sometimes, praise even less and say thank you’s we know are inadequate.  It’s like going to the gas station with an empty tank and pocket full of money and deciding to purchase only a quarter of what’s needed to take our long-distance trip.  It makes no sense.

What does make sense is to use the powers we’ve been given.  Why not ask the Person who has all the answers (Psalm 147:5)?  Can our lives really move forward well if we always want to be in control (Job 12:10)? Why not give to others with the assurance that our needs are covered (Philippians 4:19)?  What’s the deal with not using our God-given gifts while we still have time (John 9:4)?  Shouldn’t we instill quality into our everyday existence (1 Corinthians 10:31)?  What’s better than knowing that we’re connected enough to act (John 1:12)?
