This morning, I turned on my car and all the icons lit up to show me oil, gas, tires, etc, etc.
Then they all went out so I would know that things had been checked out and were working fine… except one. I immediately opened my owner’s manual to find out that the best way to check this out was to turn the engine on and off and if that didn’t work, call my dealer.
If only life were that easy,
Imagine getting up, flipping on the bathroom light and getting a series of icons on your mirror.
The logo of your company – goes off if the day will be productive. If it stays on, be ready for anything.
A picture of your cell phone – goes off to show you it will be working properly. Stays on? Better get your phone on the charger and back up anything you need.
A photo of your closet – goes off to show that you are dressed appropriately for the weather. If it stays on, you may want to grab that sweater you thought you wouldn’t need.
A blur of your refrigerator – goes off to indicate you will have a nutritious and satisfying day. If it stays on, better rethink going out for lunch and pack a few pieces of fruit or healthy snacks.
A cross - to indicate your day will be completed in Christ. And if it doesn’t go off you know what to do. Go to the owner’s manual and read what to do to get things back on track. Maybe it’s John 21:17 for encouragement. Maybe it’s John 3:16 as a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice of love. Romans 12:9-10? General guidance for a good day. Whatever you see, read, digest and act on it.
Now turn the light off and on again. Is the cross still on your mirror or does it fade to appear in your heart?
If it fades, you know you will have a good day!
